Free HOA Construction Project Checklist
Twenty-five practical checks from scope development through final closeout.
Three Perspectives. One Platform.
HOA TurnKey draws on 26 years across three distinct industry roles — giving you guidance that no single perspective can offer.
Spot scope gaps and pricing questions before award.
Workflows shaped by 17 years in estimating and contractor operations help organize line items, compare exclusions, and identify costs that deserve a documented explanation.
Higher than the comparable submitted bids. Request itemized breakdown.
1 item flagged for review
Keep projects on track in a community setting.
Running construction inside an occupied HOA community is different from any other job site. Three years of owner-side construction management experience shaped workflows for resident communication, approvals, access, progress controls, and punch lists.
Bring consistent review to every community.
Six years inside association-management operations shaped repeatable approaches to board decisions, reserve-funded work, vendor oversight, and portfolio-level project consistency.

Built for Every Role in Your HOA
Select your role to see how HOA TurnKey works for you.
Evaluate a contractor bid
“We got three bids for pool resurfacing. The lowest is $38K and the highest is $67K. What should I look for to understand why they're so different?”
Prepare for a board meeting
“Our board meeting is tomorrow and we're voting on a $180K asphalt project. What questions should I ask before we approve it?”
Understand a reserve study
“Our reserve study says we're 42% funded. Is that a problem? What does that mean for our upcoming projects?”
Catch what contractors miss
“Our painting contractor's scope doesn't mention surface prep or crack repair. Should that concern us?”

EnterpriseSee It In Action
Ask a question, get expert guidance. It's that simple.
Good timing to get ahead of this before bids go out. Here's what to focus on:
What to require from every contractor:
- •Valid state painting contractor license and current COI ($2M GL minimum)
- •Itemized pricing by surface type and building — not a single lump sum
- •Timeline with start/completion dates and daily crew size commitment
- •Written warranty covering both labor and materials (5 years minimum)
- •Three verifiable references from comparable multi-family projects
What to watch for in the bids:
- •Vague surface prep language — prep is where corners get cut
- •Missing bid alternates — request balcony coating as a separate line item
- •No pre-bid walkthrough — any serious contractor walks the property before pricing
- •Lump sum pricing with no line item breakout — impossible to evaluate
One thing most boards overlook:
Build a color mock-up approval step into the contract before full application. It prevents costly disputes and change orders later.

Why AI Instead of a Consultant?
Fair question. Boards shouldn't hand legal or safety decisions to software — and HOA TurnKey doesn't ask you to. Here's the honest answer.
The gold standard is still a human owner’s rep
On a large, complex, or litigated project, a dedicated owner’s representative earns their fee. But most associations, on most projects, can’t justify that cost — so boards end up going it alone. That gap is exactly what HOA TurnKey fills.
The AI informs. You decide. Professionals execute.
HOA TurnKey flags what’s missing from a bid, drafts the scope of work, and explains the terms in plain language. Your board still makes every decision, and licensed contractors, engineers, and attorneys still do the licensed work.
It never replaces licensed judgment
For structural, legal, or life-safety calls, hire the licensed professional — and use HOA TurnKey to walk into that conversation informed. Everything it produces is a starting point for professional review, not a substitute for it.
