  • Role-based approvals for internal review, client review, and board approval
  • SLA deadline tracking with reminders
  • Full audit trail logging every transition with user, timestamp, and comments
  • Study types: full, update with site visit, update without site visit

30-year funding projection charts and tables

  • What-if scenarios with side-by-side comparison
  • Special assessment calculator with per-unit breakdowns
  • Fully Funded Balance and percent funded tracking year over year
  • Component expenditure schedules with inflation adjustments
  • CSV export and printable views for every data table

Component inventory with categories, conditions, and cost tracking

Component Tracking

Track every building element across your associations. The 5-tab Component Hub gives you a complete picture: overview, inspection history, maintenance records, capital projects, and study participation.

  • 130+ pre-built component templates, plus your firm's own library
  • Photo uploads with cloud storage
  • Bulk CSV import and export, or paste straight from Excel
  • Condition ratings: excellent, good, fair, poor, failed
  • 50-state regional cost factors, with your own figures where you have them

Illustration: rows pasted from Excel are checked against the study, an error is fixed in place, then the rows are applied.

Paste from Excel

Copy a block of cells in Excel or Google Sheets and paste it into a study. ReservePath matches the columns, checks every row against the study and your inventory, and shows exactly what will change before anything is saved. No re-typing, and no import template to follow.

  • Columns matched automatically from your own headings
  • Every row previewed as new, from inventory, update, no change or error
  • Fix problem cells right in the preview, then re-check
  • Round trip: export a study to CSV, edit it in Excel, paste it back
  • Inventory and cost database import from CSV, including semicolon and tab files

Illustration: a firm component library with its own costs, a property template added with quantities, and cost modifiers adjusting a unit cost.

Your Own Cost Database

Keep your firm's costs, life values and descriptions in one library, so every new association starts from your numbers, not generic ones. Import your existing cost database from CSV, or copy items from the ReservePath list and set your own figures.

  • Firm component library with CSV import and export
  • Property templates: add a whole mid-rise or townhome set at once
  • Cost modifiers for pitch, access and other factors, applied per component
  • Units of measure the trade uses, with decimal quantities (32.4 squares)
  • Studies flag when your library costs change, and when the units differ

How report writing works

AI chat assistant analyzing reserve study data

AI-Powered Analysis

Ask questions about any study or association and get answers grounded in your actual data. The AI assistant understands your components, funding projections, inspection history, and team activity. It generates report narratives, identifies risks, and surfaces insights you might miss.

  • Study-level and association-level AI chat
  • Auto-generated executive summaries and funding narratives
  • Board summary reports with percent funded, risk ratings and action items
  • Included on every plan with generous monthly limits

Site inspection tracking with photos and condition history

Site Inspections

Document component conditions with photos, ratings, and notes. Run inspections tied to specific studies or as independent association-level condition assessments between study cycles. The condition timeline shows how each component has changed over time.

  • Study-level and association-level inspections
  • Photo uploads stored securely in cloud storage
  • Best-case and worst-case cost estimates per component
  • Condition timeline view showing history per component
  • Apply findings to the study in one step: life, condition and cost

More about site inspections

Illustration: a study rolled forward three years with aged components, inspection findings applied to the study, and a study-wide cost adjustment.

Faster Study Updates

Most studies are updates. Start the next cycle from the last one: ReservePath carries every component forward, applies inflation for the years in between, ages remaining life, and points out anything that came due during the gap.

  • Update study from any completed study, previewed before anything is created
  • Duplicate a study as a new draft in one click
  • Apply inspection findings to the study: life, condition, and best, worst or average cost
  • Study-wide cost adjustment by a percentage, or from one region's price level to another
  • Every change recorded in the study history with before and after values

Team management with role-based permissions

Team Collaboration and Compliance

Manage your entire team with role-based permissions. 10 system roles cover internal staff and external stakeholders. Assign users to specific associations with granular access control. Built-in compliance guidance for all 50 states keeps you current with jurisdiction-specific requirements.

  • 65 granular permissions across 10 permission groups
  • Internal team invitations and external access with token-based links
  • 50-state compliance checker with scoring and action items
  • Activity audit trail with 55+ tracked action types

Approved Reports and Your Data

When a board approves a study, ReservePath keeps the exact report they approved, and again when the study is completed. Your data stays yours: export everything whenever you like, and keep read-only access even if your subscription ends.

  • Approval requires a signature from the current approval round
  • Approved and final reports archived automatically, with a SHA-256 fingerprint
  • Archived reports can never be edited or deleted
  • Full firm export: every record as JSON and CSV, plus your photos and documents
  • Never locked out: a lapsed account stays readable and can always export
