What the studies here spend time on
Tall buildings bring the expensive components: elevators, facade and window systems, boilers, rooftop units and parking structures. Older converted buildings add masonry, original windows and roofs that were never designed for the uses they now serve. Lake-effect weather and road salt in the parking garage do the rest.
Because some of these components only come due every 30 or 40 years, a study is often the first time a board sees them on paper at all.
Records to find first
Statutory reserve account statements are recorded with the register of deeds in the county where the condominium instruments are recorded, so for most associations here that means Milwaukee, Waukesha or Ozaukee County. Pull the statement and the declaration before you ask for proposals. See how the account works.
Firms
Several firms are based in Milwaukee, and national firms send staff here often, so most associations can choose. Our firm list shows which say they work in Wisconsin, or the form below finds one for you.
