Reserve Studies in Florida for Condominium Associations, HOAs & Commercial Properties
Professional Reserve Study and Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) Reports throughout Florida.
Global Solution Partners, LLC provides professional Reserve Studies and Structural Integrity Reserve Studies (SIRS) for condominium associations, community associations, resorts, and commercial properties throughout Florida. With more than 28,000 condominium associations and 21,000 homeowner associations (HOAs) throughout Florida, communities face increasing pressure to proactively plan for major repairs, building restoration projects, reserve funding, structural improvements, and long-term property preservation.
From waterfront condominiums along Florida’s coastlines to master-planned communities, golf course developments, high-rise residential towers, and large homeowners associations throughout the state, Florida community associations face some of the most complex reserve planning challenges in the nation. These properties require careful long-term financial planning to address future repair and replacement costs, preserve property values, maintain critical infrastructure, and comply with Florida’s evolving reserve funding and structural integrity requirements. Effective reserve studies help boards make informed decisions, reduce the risk of special assessments, and ensure the long-term financial stability of their communities.We work directly with HOA boards, condo associations, and association managers to help them understand what major repairs are coming and how much money should be set aside to pay for them.

What Is a Reserve Study?
A Reserve Study is a professional financial planning report that helps condominium associations, homeowners associations (HOAs), and property owners prepare for future major repairs and replacement costs. The study evaluates common-area components such as roofs, elevators, parking garages, pools, mechanical systems, and building infrastructure to estimate their remaining useful life and projected replacement expenses.
What Is a Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS)?
A Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) is a specialized reserve study required for certain Florida condominium and cooperative associations to evaluate the condition and estimated replacement costs of critical structural and life-safety components. Established under Florida law, a SIRS helps associations identify future capital repair and replacement needs and develop appropriate reserve funding plans.
A SIRS typically evaluates components such as:
- Roof systems
- Load-bearing walls and structural elements
- Floors and foundations
- Fireproofing and fire protection systems
- Plumbing systems
- Electrical systems
- Waterproofing and exterior building envelope components
- Windows and other structural elements required by Florida statutes

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are Reserve Studies important for coastal condominium communities?
Coastal properties are often exposed to salt air, humidity, storms, and environmental conditions that can accelerate component deterioration and increase long-term maintenance costs.
Is a Reserve Study required in Florida?
While traditional Reserve Studies are not required for all associations, it is required that all condo associations reserve for Roofs, Asphalt, Painting, and any component over $25,000. Florida law requires certain condominium and cooperative associations to conduct Structural Integrity Reserve Studies (SIRS). Even when not legally required, Reserve Studies are considered a best practice for responsible financial planning and long-term property maintenance. Therefore, having a professional Reserve Study performed is considered to be part of the Association Boards’ fiduciary responsibility.
Does my association in Florida need a Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS)?
All Florida condominium and cooperative associations that are three habitable stories or higher are required to have a professional Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) performed.
How often should a Reserve Study be updated in Florida?
Best practices dictate that associations update their Reserve Studies at least every three years. However, due to the extreme heat, humidity, and salt air in Florida, Reserve Studies should be updated more frequently to account for changes in construction costs, inflation, completed projects, and the condition of building components.
What components are included in a Reserve Study?
A Reserve Study may include a wide range of common-area components, such as:
- Roof systems
- Elevators
- Parking garages
- Swimming pools
- Clubhouses
- HVAC systems
- Plumbing systems
- Electrical systems
- Security systems
- Asphalt and paving
- Exterior painting and waterproofing
- Recreational amenities
The specific components included depend on the property type and association responsibilities. In Florida, all condo associations must reserve for Roofs, Asphalt, Painting, and any component over $25,000.
In Florida, what components are included in a SIRS?
A Structural Integrity Reserve Study typically evaluates structural and life-safety components required by Florida law, including:
- Roofs
- Load-bearing walls and structural systems
- Floors and foundations
- Fireproofing and fire protection systems
- Plumbing systems
- Electrical systems
- Waterproofing and exterior building envelope systems
- Windows and other structural components as required by statute
How much does a Reserve Study cost?
The cost of a Reserve Study depends on factors such as property size, number of buildings, complexity of systems, and the scope of services required. Larger high-rise condominiums generally require more extensive evaluations than smaller communities. Contact Global Solution Partners for a customized proposal based on your property’s needs.
How long does a Reserve Study take to complete?
Completion times may vary greatly depending on many factors, including the provider’s workload, property size, document availability, and site visit scheduling. Complex properties with multiple buildings or extensive amenities may require additional time for analysis and reporting. Global Solution Partners strives to deliver most Reserve Studies within 30 days.
Why are Reserve Studies important for condominium associations?
Reserve Studies help associations plan for future repair and replacement costs, reduce the likelihood of special assessments, maintain property values, and support long-term financial stability. A properly funded reserve account helps ensure that major capital projects can be completed when needed.
What are reserve funds?
Reserve funds are money set aside by an association to pay for future major repairs and replacements of common-area assets. These funds help avoid unexpected financial burdens on owners and provide a structured approach to long-term capital planning.
Can a Reserve Study help avoid special assessments?
Yes. A professionally prepared Reserve Study helps associations anticipate future expenses and establish appropriate reserve contributions. Proper reserve funding can reduce the likelihood of large special assessments when major repairs or replacements become necessary.
How do I request a Reserve Study proposal?
Requesting a proposal is simple. Contact Global Solution Partners with information about your property, including the number of units, building type, location, and amenities. Our team will review your needs and provide a customized proposal for a Reserve Study or Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS).
