The Hidden Personality of Buildings

What Your Condo Would Be in a Classroom

If every condominium or community we managed sat down in a classroom, which student would your property be? Just like people, buildings have personalities—and those personalities come out most clearly when boards and managers are preparing for major decisions or seasonal upkeep.

Meet the Students

• The Overachiever
  This building is always ahead of schedule—roofs inspected, capital projects planned years in advance, and reserve studies polished like perfect homework. The board works seamlessly with management, and residents notice the results.

• The Procrastinator
  This property puts things off until the last minute. Gutter cleaning waits until ice dams form, and painting projects happen only when peeling becomes unavoidable. They’ll get there, but usually after a pop quiz no one wanted.

• The Team Player
  Here, the board, management, and residents collaborate openly. Decisions aren’t rushed, but they’re made thoughtfully, with everyone on the same page. It’s not about being first—it’s about working together.

• The Class Clown
  Not always by choice—this building runs into quirky surprises, from mechanical issues to unexpected vendor hiccups. With the right guidance, even the class clown can shine when the spotlight is on.

How BRIGS Helps Buildings Earn an A+

No matter what kind of “student” your property might be, the right support system makes all the difference.

Our Living Reserve Study Team helps buildings stay prepared with dynamic, real-time reserve studies—so instead of relying on a static binder that collects dust, you get actionable insights that grow with your property.

And when it’s time to turn planning into action, our Project Management team ensures capital projects are executed smoothly, on budget, and with full transparency. Together, these teams help every building move from a struggling student to a star performer.

Which Student Is Your Property?

Every building falls somewhere on the spectrum. The key is recognizing where you stand today—and how to move toward being the best version of your “student self.” At BRIGS, we’re the teachers, tutors, and coaches rolled into one—helping communities graduate into stronger, better-managed properties.
