The contingency fund is a financial entity dedicated specifically to the costs incurred by major works and the replacement of common areas of a building, in contrast to regular maintenance. It is not intended to cover expenses related to daily maintenance.
Instead, it is designed to anticipate the long-term financing of the substantial work needed in shared spaces, allowing these significant costs to be spread over an extended period of time.
The contingency fund review mandate includes the following steps:
- Analysis of the co-ownership documents and identification of the common areas;
- Visual inspection of the premises – assesses the state of wear and tear of components, identification of immediate work to be completed and costs;
- Analysis of the contingency fund and development of a schedule detailing major repairs and replacements to be made for the next 25 years;
- Analysis of the state of the contingency fund and proposal of three scenarios for the contribution of co-owners
- A visual inspection of the common areas of the building.
- An expert report in accordance with the new law, used to assess the condition of the assets and to establish intervention strategies aimed at developing an asset maintenance plan that is used to determine the appropriate amounts to be paid into the contingency fund. This plan covers a period of 25 years.
- A maintenance schedule that includes an inventory of the building’s components (common areas only) that indicates the operations carried out or to be carried out with regard to their maintenance or replacement.
NEW BILL 16:
Did you know that since December 2019, Bill 16 requires syndicates of co-ownership to conduct a contingency fund study?
Planibâtimat is able to help you. Our certified technologists offer the contingency fund study service recognized by the new Bill 16.
Here is an excerpt from the RGCQ website about Bill 16.
- … All trade unions, without exception, will have to Establish a contingency fund study and update it every five years. The study may only be conducted by a member of a professional order designated by government regulation.
- For the maintenance logbook, it is stated that “the board of directors shall have a building maintenance logbook drawn up, which describes in particular the maintenance carried out and to be carried out. He holds this up-to-date notebook and has it reviewed periodically. The form, content and procedures for keeping and revising the maintenance logbook, as well as the persons who may draw it up and revise it, shall be determined by regulation of the Government” (article 1070.2 C.C.Q.).
