The roof has a date on it. So should the money.

A building is quietly consuming a lift, a roof, a pump and a coat of paint, all on a schedule somebody could write down. The plan is that schedule. The long-term maintenance fund is whether you can pay for it.

Long-term maintenance and the long-term maintenance fund in Quarter

What it does

A plan of what is actually there: Components, renewal cost and lifespan, brought in from the plan you already have rather than retyped.
Projected, not guessed: The fund is modelled forward against the plan, so the question at the AGM is a number rather than a feeling about whether levies are enough.
Scoped where a building is not one thing: A development with separate stages or shared facilities has more than one plan, and the projection follows the scope rather than averaging the building.
Joined to the money: A big job is a budget line, a levy and usually a proposal, all referring to the same plan rather than three spreadsheets.

How it works

An existing plan can be imported as it stands; the reader pulls out components, lifecycles and costs, and what it produces is editable.
Projections run per scope, from the plan's own modelling date, so a building with more than one fund gets more than one answer.

What it doesn't do

Worth as much as knowing what it does, and otherwise found out at the worst moment.

Quarter models the plan it is given. It is not a quantity surveyor and does not inspect your building, the lifecycles and costs are yours, and a plan built on optimistic ones will project optimistically.
The plan and its projection work over a default 30-year horizon everywhere. Only New Zealand and New South Wales have a jurisdiction-specific horizon and review cadence built; elsewhere no statutory cadence is claimed.
