Project & Construction Management: One Team. Full Accountability.

Major capital projects are among the highest-stakes decisions your HOA board will ever make. At Association Management Trust, you don't get handed off to a project coordinator you've never met. Your community manager stays with you through the entire process — coordinating specs, bids, contractors, inspections, and board communication from start to final punch list. One team. One point of contact. Full accountability.

RESERVE & CAPITAL PROJECTS

Your reserve fund exists for a reason — to fund major replacements without special assessments. AMT helps you use those funds strategically:

• Asphalt & pavement repairs, resurfacing, and replacement

• Balcony coating, waterproofing, and SB 326/721 compliance work

• Electrical panel upgrades and common area lighting retrofits

• Sewer, lateral, and underground utility repairs

• Roof repairs, replacement, and waterproofing systems

• Pool, spa, and recreational facility resurfacing and upgrades

 

SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS

When reserves fall short, special assessments may be unavoidable. AMT manages the entire process:

• Scope definition and amount calculation with reserve study alignment

• Loan financing options presented to the Board

• Civil Code-compliant member notices and voting procedures

• Billing, collection, and lien enforcement as authorized by the Board

 

GREEN & COST-SAVING INITIATIVES

Smart communities reduce operating costs while improving sustainability:

• LED and solar lighting conversions with rebate coordination

• Low-flow irrigation and water conservation retrofits

• Utility audit services to identify billing errors and savings

• Energy-efficient common area upgrades

 

EMERGENCY & INSURANCE CLAIM MANAGEMENT

When disaster strikes, speed and expertise matter:

• 24/7 emergency vendor dispatch and site coordination

• Insurance claim filing, adjuster coordination, and scope negotiation

• Full documentation for fire, water, earthquake, and wind damage

• Rebuild oversight from demo through project completion

 

CONSTRUCTION DEFECT CLAIMS

Defect claims are complex and high-stakes. AMT supports Boards through:

• Coordination with HOA legal counsel and forensic consultants

• Access and documentation management during investigation

• Settlement and repair oversight on behalf of the association

• Homeowner communications throughout the process

 

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE PROJECTS

California laws keep evolving. AMT keeps your community ahead:

• SB 326 & SB 721 balcony and elevated structure inspections

• AB 3182 rental restriction compliance updates

• ADA accessibility assessments and remediation planning

• Prevailing wage compliance for qualifying projects

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Who manages the project on behalf of the association?

Your dedicated community manager works alongside AMT's Project Support team to oversee the project from start to finish. You get a single point of accountability, not a handoff between departments.

 

How does AMT select and manage contractors?

We maintain a pre-vetted network of licensed, bonded, and insured contractors across all relevant trades. For each project, we develop detailed specifications, solicit competitive bids, and present the Board with a transparent comparison. We then manage the contract, timeline, inspections, and payments.

 

What if a project goes over budget or timeline?

We proactively communicate any scope changes, unforeseen conditions, or timeline risks as soon as they arise. AMT works with the Board to evaluate options and approve changes before they impact cost or schedule.

 

How do you handle emergency projects?

AMT has 24/7 emergency protocols. We dispatch vetted vendors immediately, document all conditions, coordinate with your insurance carrier, and keep your board informed throughout.

 

Can AMT help if we've already hired a contractor directly?

Yes. We can step in to provide oversight, contract review, progress inspections, and payment management even when the Board has already engaged a contractor directly.

 

Can AMT assist with construction defect litigation?

AMT can support the Board by coordinating access, maintaining records, managing homeowner communications, and working alongside HOA legal counsel and forensic consultants throughout the process.
