Salt air, sun and rain
Marine exposure shortens the life of roofs, railings, lanais, elevators, and exterior coatings. Useful-life assumptions borrowed from the mainland run optimistic here.

WHY LOCAL MATTERS
A mainland template
doesn’t fit an island building.
Reserve studies built from generic assumptions leave Hawaii boards underfunded and surprised.
Hawaii buildings face conditions few other states do, and the cost of getting a repair wrong lands on owners as a special assessment. Local knowledge is what separates a reserve plan you can fund from one that only looks complete.
Island construction costs
Materials arrive by ship, labor markets are small, and contractor availability varies island to island. Replacement costs that ignore this leave reserves short.
Hawaii’s statutory framework
HRS Chapter 514B requires condominium associations to base budgets on a reserve study, with an independent review and visual inspection at least every three years.
