Bill 16, a recently adopted legislation in Quebec, has brought significant changes to the legal obligations of condominiums in the province. Among these changes, one of the most notable concerns the Contingency Fund Study.
The Contingency Fund Study is a comprehensive examination of the condition of a condominium building and its major components. It aims to estimate the costs of major repairs and replacements that will need to be carried out in the coming years. This study is conducted by a qualified professional who inspects the condominium and produces a detailed report.
The Contingency Fund Study is a legal requirement for condominiums in Quebec. This study, which must be conducted every five years, aims to ensure the longevity of the building and anticipate the costs of upcoming major repairs.
To achieve these goals, the Contingency Fund Study is divided into two essential parts: the technical aspect and the financial aspect.
The technical aspect of the study involves a thorough inspection of all major elements of the building, conducted by a qualified inspector. This inspection includes the building’s structure, roof, heating and air conditioning systems, plumbing, electricity, and any other components that may require major repairs or replacements.
Based on their evaluation, the inspector can determine the necessary repairs and their timeline. This information is crucial for planning future work and ensuring the long-term preservation of the building.
Once the technical aspect is completed, the financial aspect comes into play. This involves translating the technical data collected during the inspection into a precise estimate of the costs of necessary repairs. This financial estimation includes the cost of materials, labor, and any other potential expenses associated with the required work.
With this information, the condominium corporation can develop a detailed financial plan, ensuring the effective management of the contingency fund. As a result, condominium owners can understand and anticipate future expenses, and contribute appropriately to the contingency fund.
According to Bill 16, all condominium corporations must conduct a Contingency Fund Study every five years. The aim of this requirement is to ensure that the fund is adequately financed to cover anticipated major expenses. This helps prevent unforeseen burdens for condo owners and ensures that condo buildings are well-maintained and safe.
