Long Term Planning: The Asset Management Plan

Long-term planning can be complex, potentially risky, and requires the right expertise. CHF Canada’s Asset Planning Services has a deep understanding of housing co-ops. The Asset Management plan is a tool that takes the guesswork out of deciding what should get replaced, when, by whom, and at what cost. Asset Management is about planning, developing and preserving co-op homes into the future.
