- 2. You receive a scoping email — Within one business day, we send you a preliminary scope outlining the study type (Level 1, 2, or 3), estimated timeline, and transparent pricing range.

Why boards choose Alpha Reserve Study
California's Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act (Civil Code Section 5550) requires every HOA to conduct a reserve study at least every three years. Beyond legal compliance, a well-executed reserve study protects your community from unexpected special assessments, supports property values, and gives your board a defensible financial plan.
Alpha Reserve Study delivers board-ready reports that meet all California requirements — with executive summaries your board can present at meetings, 30-year funding projections, and component-by-component analysis. Our Board-Ready Guarantee means if the report does not meet your presentation needs, we revise it at no extra cost.
