Association Reserves in Point Loma, co-founded in 1986 by P.E. Cathy Schrader and Reserve Specialist RS #5 Robert Nordlund, operates from Liberty Station to serve HOAs, condominiums, and commercial properties across San Diego and Imperial counties. The San Diego branch, established in 2008, prepares reserve studies that comply with California Civil Code Section 5550, a statutory requirement that overlaps with the zoning and entitlement analysis performed by Atlantis Group Land Use Consultants for peninsula developments. On-site physical inspections catalog every reserve component from roof membranes and elevator mechanicals to asphalt overlays and pool-equipment rooms, assigning each a remaining useful life and current replacement cost. The proprietary uPlanIt tool lets board members model what-if funding scenarios in real time, adjusting contribution rates against inflation assumptions and interest accruals. HOA boards navigating special-assessment disputes or Davis-Stirling compliance questions pair reserve data with legal counsel at Cannavino Law, APC on the peninsula. The firm's most complex engagements cover master-planned communities with 1,000-plus units, multi-phase construction timelines, and shared infrastructure that requires component-by-component depreciation schedules across common-area and limited-common-area ownership boundaries.
