Holding the role of director on the board includes taking on a lot of duties and responsibilities. And when your property needs to have major repairs completed on multiple building components it can feel overwhelming.

When faced with determining which project to prioritize there are some key questions to consider:

What will be the risks if the project is delayed?
Risk can be defined in many ways but typically it is assessed in terms of safety, money, and time.
Are there life-safety concerns that may pose an immediate danger to occupants?
Live-safety projects should really be at the top of the priority list.
Will deferring one of the projects over another creates a greater cost liability to the association?
The answer is “yes”. Delaying one project to complete another project will add cost but sometimes there is no getting around it.
Is your decision-making process fact-based or emotion-based?
It is very important to take your own personal wants and desires out of the decision-making process and look at the facts.
What facts are you basing the hierarchy of the projects on?
Clients should only use qualified unbiased professionals to inspect, analyze, and discover the facts about the condition of your property prior to making decisions.
