Exterior project planning for HOAs and multifamily properties

Start with the decision your community needs to make

Before a proposal can support a useful board decision, the project needs a clear purpose, boundaries and a process for confirming the scope. Tell Rick which buildings are involved, what needs attention and when the community expects to decide.

Coordinate the exterior scope

Discuss roof replacement, free roof inspections and hail-damage concerns, painting and concrete projects. Identify immediate priorities and items needing evaluation. Each item still needs a defined scope and written terms.

Prepare a useful brief

• Community name, city and building addresses.
• Building count, property type and areas included.
• Observed conditions, photos and prior reports.
• Board review dates, preferred timing and approval requirements.
• Access restrictions, parking and resident communication contacts.
• Budget constraints the proposal should address.

Keep residents' private details, payment information and sensitive insurance documents out of an initial inquiry.

Compare proposals on the same scope

Ask proposals to identify buildings and surfaces, preparation, material choices, exclusions, responsibilities and the change process. A low total is difficult to assess when proposals cover different work. Discuss whether phasing is practical and what it changes.

Agree on communication and access

Identify who approves decisions, who receives updates and who communicates with residents. Discuss working areas, deliveries and normal operations before construction begins. Confirm schedule, written terms and project-specific qualifications or coverage documentation before authorizing work.
