The Request Process

What happens between sending the form and receiving a quote, who sees your details, and how this service pays for itself.

Who we are

Illinois Reserve Studies is an introduction service for Illinois condominium and HOA boards. We are not a reserve study firm, an engineering practice or a reserve specialist, and we do not prepare studies. We connect your board with an independent reserve study provider who does.

What the form asks

The ZIP code of the property; whether you are a board member, manager or owner; the number of units; the kind of property; when the last study was done; when you need the new one; and a name, phone number and email. Nothing else is required.

What we do with it

  1. We look for a reserve study provider who works on properties of your type in your part of Illinois.
  2. Within one business day we contact you and tell you who that provider is.
  3. Only if you agree do we send them your request. If you would rather not, nothing is passed on.
  4. The provider contacts you, asks for the documents they need and gives the board a fee and a timeline.

The decision to hire anyone is the board's. You are free to get other quotes, and we will not chase you.

How this service is paid for

It costs the association nothing. Providers who accept an introduction from us pay us a referral fee. The fee for the study itself is agreed between your board and the provider.

Our figures

Statute summaries link to the Illinois General Assembly and official city and county pages. Fee ranges are typical ranges, labelled a guide, not a quote; the Community Associations Institute is cited only for what each level of study includes. Nothing on this site is legal or engineering advice.

Your details

See the privacy policy for what we keep and for how long, and the opt-out page to stop your details being shared.

Ready to start?

Three short parts. The first is just the ZIP code of the property.

  • No charge to the association for the introduction.
  • You see who the provider is before anything is passed on.
  • The study fee is agreed between your board and the provider.

We are a matching service, not a reserve study firm. We find a provider, name them to you, and send your request only once you agree. Providers pay us a fee for each introduction.
