Housing co-operative board and condo board members face similar challenges.  You both often receive long, jargon-heavy reports that assume technical knowledge. And like any volunteer, you likely can't commit the time to work through every page.  

BAR supports you by testing reports to see if they're solid.  We do this by verifying: data quality, accuracy, and integrity, assumption realism, and logic consistency. If the report meets our standards, its recommendations are likely reasonable. If one or more standards aren't met, we tell you where the problems are ... clearly, respectfully, and in plain English.

Why this matters: You rely on reports that impact your building's capital improvements and the costs you and your neighbours will pay for them.  Good formatting or conformance to a template won't cut it.  Knowing that a report's internal logic has been rigorously tested assures you it can be relied upon for decision-making.  Whether you are looking at a Building Condition Assessment, Asset Management Plan, or another technical report, a BAR report let's you know what you're working with.
