StrataReports Adds Meeting-Minutes Intelligence to Depreciation & Reserve Studies

Strata and condo documents often feel overwhelming - especially engineering reports, depreciation reports (BC), and reserve fund studies (AB & ON). They highlight issues, predict future costs, and list potential risks. For buyers and agents, this can spark uncertainty.
But here’s the truth most people don’t see:

Many of the issues flagged by engineers have already been addressed by the council.

Until now, that story has been hidden.

Today, we’re excited to introduce a major upgrade to StrataReports that connects the dots between engineering findings and the actual actions taken by the building - giving you the full picture, instantly.

Introducing: Related Updates From Meeting Minutes

Every engineering report identifies concerns.
Every council meeting tells you what was actually done.

For the first time, StrataReports now automatically links these two worlds together.

How it works

For each item extracted from:

• Depreciation Reports (British Columbia)

• Reserve Fund Studies (Alberta & Ontario)

• Engineering Assessments (all provinces)

…our system now reviews:

• All available meeting minutes

• AGM and SGM notes

• Council decisions, actions, and follow-ups

Then, for every topic, your report now includes a new section:

➡️ Related Updates From Meeting Minutes

This shows:

• What has been fixed

• What is in progress

• What routine maintenance is planned

• Which “big issues” are no longer issues at all

• Whether funding decisions or special levies have already addressed the concern

It’s the difference between reading a problem on paper - and understanding the real status of the building.

Why This Matters

1. It reduces confusion for buyers

Engineering reports are technical and often alarming. But the most important question is:

“Has the building actually done anything about this?”

Now they see the answer, clearly.

2. It prevents deals from falling apart

Realtors know the scenario:

• Buyer sees “envelope deterioration” → panic

• But the council already replaced the membranes last year

Your reports now show the full story, reducing unnecessary fear and improving decision confidence.

3. It highlights proactive buildings

A building that actively fixes issues is more valuable than one that ignores them. This feature makes that easy to see.

4. It brings BC, Alberta, and Ontario into one unified process

Whether the document source is:

• A Depreciation Report (BC)

• A Reserve Fund Study (AB & ON)

• Or an independent engineering assessment

StrataReports automatically traces each finding to the latest updates from council activity.

Examples of What Now Appears in Your Reports

Built for Realtors, Buyers & Lawyers

This upgrade is especially impactful because:

• The engineering reports often exaggerate future risks

• Engineering findings are written for councils - not for buyers

• Meeting minutes often quietly show dozens of fixes that buyers never see

StrataReports now surfaces all of this automatically.

Better Reports, Worth the Wait

To make this possible, we’ve improved accuracy across the entire system. Reports now take 10–15 minutes to generate on average - slightly longer, but significantly more precise.

Because perfection takes a few moments. And now, it feels like perfection.
