Send the reserve study.

Five answers and one PDF. The completed Study Check goes to your email. There is no password to set and no account to keep.

Association or property name

State

Where the property is, so the review can use the right state-specific guidance where applicable.

Your name

Email for the Study Check

This is where the completed review is sent. Ballast creates no account and no password.

The reserve study

One PDF: the most recent study the association has on file, exactly as you received it.

Before you send it

These three are the conditions in the Study Check Submission Terms. Ballast cannot accept a study without all three.

I am a board member, officer, employee, manager, or authorized agent of the association, or I am otherwise authorized to share this study with Ballast.

Sharing it does not breach a confidentiality, licence, or copyright restriction. Check the cover page of your study. Some preparers restrict redistribution.

The information I have given about the association is accurate to my knowledge.

Optional: exclude my study from Ballast’s anonymised methodology research entirely. (Published research is always aggregated and stripped of anything identifying you, your association, your property, or your preparer.)

No cost. No sales call.

No obligation. Sending a study does not engage Ballast, create a charge, or start a purchase.

Before you send it

What you get

What to send

The most recent reserve study the association has on file, as a PDF, exactly as you received it.

Detailed review

The Study Check identifies what the document appears to support, visible gaps, and questions that may need to be resolved before the board relies on it.

Clear next step

The result tells you whether the current study appears usable for the question in front of you, whether more information is needed, or whether an Update or Full Reserve Study is the supported next step. An Update needs a qualifying prior baseline; a Full Reserve Study fits when the record cannot support one. Already know you need paid work? Request a scope directly.

How long it takes

Normally within 2 business days. That is a target, not a guarantee. If Ballast cannot meet it, or declines the submission, you are told.

What it costs

Nothing. It carries no obligation on either side. Submitting a study does not engage Ballast and does not create a charge.

What it is not

It is not a reserve study and does not update or replace yours. It is not a warrantability determination and does not guarantee a financing outcome. It is not legal, engineering, or accounting advice.

Terms and privacy

Your submission is governed by the Study Check Submission Terms, the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. Ballast does not publish your study or share it outside Ballast without your permission.
