Reserve fund studies for Whitby condominiums
What the Condominium Act requires, and what it means for a corporation here.
Whitby, located in Durham Region, is a growing Durham community with townhouse and mid-rise corporations. Close to Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering, it is roughly 45 km from our Vaughan head office. Every corporation here must have a reserve fund study completed within a year of registration, then updated at least every three years.
Corporations in Whitby are registered through the Durham land registry division, so you will see the prefix DSCC on registrations from May 2001 onward and DCC on earlier ones. That distinction is a useful shortcut: an DCC number usually indicates an older building whose major components are approaching or past their first replacement, which is exactly when an accurate funding plan matters most.
Scope is defined by the declaration: what the corporation is responsible for, which isn't the same as everything on the property. Even neighbouring corporations can need very different studies, depending on whether the building envelope falls to the corporation or the owners.
Each study is sealed by a licensed Professional Engineer, and comes with a 30-year funding plan across three scenarios, plus the Notice of Future Funding (Form 15) the board must send owners within 15 days of proposing its plan.

Common questions
Reserve Fund Studies in Whitby
How often does a Whitby condominium need a reserve fund study?
Within a year of registration, every Ontario condominium corporation needs a comprehensive study, then updates at least every three years, alternating a Class 2 site-visit update with a Class 3 update that skips it.
How much does a reserve fund study cost in Whitby?
Cost varies with the size and type of the property, how many buildings are involved, and whether a site visit is needed. We price a defined scope up front rather than billing by the hour.
How long does a study take?
Usually four to eight weeks after engagement, though it depends on the property's size and how fast the corporation's records come together.
Do you work with commercial and industrial condominiums in Whitby?
Yes. Regardless of use, every corporation is covered by the requirement; only the scope changes, tracking the differences in common elements.
