Start with Property Priorities
Separate must-have services (safety, access, compliance) from appearance improvements. This gives you a stable baseline budget before optional projects are added.
Allocate by Season
Break annual budget into seasonal categories: spring prep, peak-season maintenance, fall cleanup, and winter storm response. Seasonal allocations improve forecasting accuracy.
Include Contingency for Weather Variability
Snowfall and storm intensity can shift costs year to year. Reserve a contingency line for above-average weather events to avoid reactive spending.
Review Quarterly with Your Provider
Conduct short quarterly reviews to rebalance service frequency, update priorities, and plan capital improvements before they become urgent.
