Cooperative and non-profit housing communities play a vital role in fostering inclusive, affordable, and sustainable neighborhoods. Proactive maintenance of these complexes is crucial, as it not only preserves the physical infrastructure but also safeguards affordability, enhances safety and quality of life for residents, and contributes to the overall health and resilience of the community.
The experts at Rimkus are an ideal partner for co-op and non-profit housing boards as they work to maintain their communities. Our consultants are well-versed in the nuanced requirements of these residential spaces and can assist with the entire life cycle of a building, from design through restoration and the assessments, maintenance, and upgrades in between.
When building components fail or need to be upgraded, we can help identify and address issues in a sustainable, resilient manner. Beginning with preliminary investigative studies to identify areas of concern, we can provide guidance through project planning and remediation design to help you plan building and property maintenance and modernization projects that provide safe, energy-efficient, and accessible living spaces for your community members.
