Who we are
Hawaii Reserve Studies is a free reserve study provider matching service for Hawaii associations. We are not a reserve study provider, engineer, management company or law firm, and we do not prepare, review or sign studies. We help boards and managers find a provider who works on their island, and we publish plain guides to the law and the fees so the board arrives at that conversation prepared.
What happens after you send a request
- You tell us about the association. The ZIP code, your role, the number of units and, if you like, when the last study was done.
- We look for a provider. We find one who works on your island and handles your kind of property, whether that is a high-rise, a walk-up or a planned community.
- We tell you who it is. You learn the provider's name from us first, normally inside one working day. Nothing is passed on until you agree.
- The provider quotes. They confirm the scope with you and send a written fee. Whether to accept is entirely the board's decision.
How we are paid
The service costs boards and owners nothing. When we introduce an association to a provider, the provider may pay us a fee for that introduction. It does not change what the association pays the provider, and we do not take a share of the study fee.
What we will not do
- Share your details with anyone before you say yes.
- Sell your details to several providers at once or add you to a marketing list.
- Tell you what your association is legally required to do. Our guides explain the statutes in plain English and link to the official text, but they are general information, not legal advice.
About our figures
The fee ranges on this site are typical national ranges, labeled as a guide, not a quote, and we say where they come from. Legal points link to the Hawaii State Legislature's text; where we could not confirm a detail we say so and suggest checking with the association's attorney.
