For strata corporations in British Columbia, a full certified inspection is a mandatory component of the depreciation report required under the Strata Property Act. This assessment typically takes 4–8 hours to complete and must be conducted by a qualified professional.

According to the provided content, a strata corporation’s roofing depreciation report should include the following elements:

• Comprehensive Condition Assessment: A detailed evaluation of the roofing system’s current state, including surface-level issues and structural integrity.
• Forecasting: A professional projection of the roof’s remaining functional lifespan.
