A depreciation report is an essential document for strata corporations in British Columbia, helping to ensure proper maintenance planning and long-term financial stability. But if you’re asking, “Where can I get a depreciation report?”, you’re not alone. This question is common among strata councils and property managers who want to stay compliant with BC’s Strata Property Act while avoiding costly surprises.

Who Can Prepare a Depreciation Report?
Not all professionals are qualified to prepare a thorough and compliant depreciation report. In BC, a depreciation report must be completed by someone with specialized expertise in engineering, financial forecasting, and property assessment. Typically, this includes:
Certified Reserve Planners (CRP): These professionals specialize in evaluating building components and forecasting long-term maintenance costs.
Professional Engineers (P.Eng): Engineers bring technical expertise to assess structural and mechanical systems.
Professional Reserve Analysts (PRA): PRAs analyze reserve funds and provide actionable financial insights.
It’s important to hire a professional or firm with a proven track record of preparing reports that meet the BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA) guidelines.
