What it costs
Maximize the return on every dollar you put into your property.
TruPoint puts real contractor knowledge on the owner's side of the table. Our partners came up through construction and building materials and have worked on thousands of properties, so whatever your buildings are doing, we have a plan for it. We start every property with the free Initial Property Review, and we determine a plan after we confirm your needs, customized to the situation and community.
What it costs
Quoted after the review
Reserve Studies, Action Plans, Scope Build, Bid Processing, and Project Oversight.
From the first inspection through the life of the property
Six steps, bought one at a time or together
Initial Property Review
Start with what you have: background on the property, a Reserve Study, or the hot button items on your list. We review it and come back with suggestions on where to start and how to approach it.
Free
Reserve Studies
We prepare Reserve Studies, and every one is a Reserve Study Plus, with a full Action Plan that works through the budget component by component, so every dollar has a planned return on investment behind it.
Quoted after the review
Scope Build
A scope beyond the builder's mindset. We bring in the latest building product technology and applied building science, modernized to code, and follow the work into every connected system to manufacturer specifications, down to the flashing at each transition.

Bid Processing
Every bidder prices the same scope, so the numbers compare line for line. We bring qualified contractors to the table, gather three bids, and review them together.
Quoted after the review
Project Oversight
Oversight from the first day to the final invoice. We visit the site regularly, document the work with photos, check each invoice against the contract, and review change orders. We finish with the final walk, so the owner, the manager, and the contractor all sign off on a job done right.

Consulting and Connections
For a single question, we consult by the hour. For the work itself, our network brings Industry Professionals, licensed specialists, and financial connections, including Housing Improvement Area assistance through your city. (A city program that finances association improvements.)

A real example
One porch column, three ways to pay for it.
The wood porch columns at a Minnesota townhome property had reached the end of their expected life. The board could keep the wood and follow a repair and repaint schedule, wrap the columns in PVC, or wrap them in a decorative PVC that keeps the same look. We priced all three over thirty years, with construction costs rising 5 percent a year.
Cost per column
Money actually spent over time, including carpentry repairs, repainting, and caulking, at 5 percent yearly cost increases
Repair and repaint the woodSimple PVC wrapDecorative wrap
That is one column. This property has 174 of them. The simple wrap saves the association about $840,000 over thirty years.
Now picture the roofs, siding, decks, and pavement on a larger property. The Action Plan runs this math on every component, so you know what each path costs before you choose one.

How boards pay for it
- Reserve planning is paid from the reserves it plans. The study and the Action Plan are what the treasurer takes to the budget.
- A project fee rides with the project it oversees, from the same funds.
- Where the reserves will not cover the job, consulting finds the money: city programs such as a Housing Improvement Area, association loans, and what each asks of the board.
- On a project with a disbursing agent, the money sits with a title company or bank and goes out on the pay applications the board approves.
Pricing questions
Is the Initial Property Review really free?
Yes. Send us the community and the hot button items. We read them before your board meeting, present what fits at the meeting, and put it in writing based on the board's needs and real actionable solutions.
What if we only want the bids run?
Yes. Bidding can be bought on its own, quoted after the review from the scope the board already has.
Do you take anything from the contractor?
The fee is the same whichever contractor wins. Every relationship that could bear on our advice is disclosed to the board first. The Transparency Pledge is on this site.
What about a report our manager wants?
A Condition Report for a management company, a contractor, an adjuster, or a carrier is scoped by phone. Call to discuss.
Why quote after the review instead of publishing a list?
A twelve-unit townhome association and a high rise are not the same job. The review is where we learn the property, and the quote follows the review.
Put us on your next agenda for fifteen minutes.
Send us the two or three things keeping the board up at night. We read them before the meeting and present what fits. The review is free.
