The asset register

Boilers, lifts, roofs and pumps — what they cost, when they were serviced, when the warranty runs out.

For associations

Record the things that are expensive to replace and easy to forget about until they fail.

  • Serial number and where it is
  • When it was installed and its expected useful life
  • What it would cost to replace
  • When it was last serviced
  • Warranty provider and expiry

Why it matters more than it looks

This is where a reserve study starts. A reserve projection is arithmetic over a list of assets with replacement costs and remaining lives — without the list, the projection is a guess, and a board that guesses is a board that under-funds.

Still stuck?

Rent, leasing, maintenance, the association and the books — one system, set up in an afternoon.
