Starter

Baseline Scan

$495 per property / one-time

  • One building
  • Drone roof inspection
  • 72-hour report

What this protects

  • Risk reduction
  • Cost avoidance

Your position with a contractor, an insurer, or an adjuster: your own record of the roof before the bid, the renewal, or the claim.

Details and deliverables

Most property owners discover roof damage after water is already inside, a contractor flags it mid-project, or an insurance adjuster lowballs a storm claim. The Baseline Scan gives you an independent drone inspection of your roof, analyzed and verified by a roofing professional, in 72 hours, so you walk into every conversation with contractors, insurers, and board members holding your own data instead of theirs.

  • Drone roof inspection covering one building, captured at inspection-grade resolution
  • Roofing-expert analysis report identifying condition issues, risk areas, and priority concerns
  • Full photo documentation package delivered as a shareable PDF
  • 72-hour turnaround from inspection to report delivery
Best for:
HOAs and individual property owners who want an independent baseline before a major project or repair bid, after a storm event, or before renewing an insurance policy.
Portfolio

Portfolio Oversight

$3,500+ per portfolio / annually

  • Up to five buildings
  • One oversight dashboard
  • Quarterly briefing call

What this protects

  • Time and governance
  • Risk reduction

Your team’s time and your standing with every board: one view of each building’s condition and capital needs, briefed quarterly.

Details and deliverables

Managing multiple properties without centralized risk intelligence means you're always one deferred repair, one contractor dispute, or one storm away from a crisis you didn't see coming. Portfolio Oversight gives CRE owners, HOA federations, and municipalities a single command view across every asset, with contractor accountability built in and a quarterly briefing so nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Everything included in Property Monitoring, applied across your portfolio
  • Coverage for up to five buildings, with larger portfolios priced on overall project scope
  • Executive oversight dashboard consolidating each property’s Risk Pulse, open findings, and upcoming capital needs in one view
  • Managed vendor estimates: we send a Request for Information to vetted vendors and collect at least three estimates per item, so your reserve study firm plans from current market prices. Vendors are vetted on license and insurance, reputation, manufacturer and public referrals, warranty, and explicit experience for the job
  • Contractor oversight module giving you independent verification of work scope, progress, and completion quality so you're never relying solely on the contractor's own reporting
  • Quarterly briefing call reviewing portfolio health, upcoming capital needs, and recommended priority actions
Best for:
CRE firms, municipalities, and HOA management companies overseeing multiple buildings who need structured, defensible oversight across their entire asset base without building an internal inspection and risk team.
Per project

Capital Project Oversight

Fixed fee, quoted before you commit / scoped per project

  • Scope and bid review
  • Verified before each payment
  • Change order and fee log

What this protects

  • Hard savings
  • Risk reduction

Your contract price: payment released only for work that has been verified, with every change order and fee on the record.

Details and deliverables

A roof replacement, repaving, or exterior project is often the largest check a board or owner writes, and the work is usually verified by the party being paid for it. Capital Project Oversight gives you an independent owner's representative from scope to closeout, so every payment is tied to work that has been checked, and every change, fee, and promise is on the record.

  • Pre-contract review: an independent condition baseline, a scope check, and a like-for-like bid comparison before you sign
  • Existing-conditions documentation by drone before work starts, so damage to sidewalks, irrigation, and landscaping is settled against a record
  • Progress and schedule tracking on your behalf, reported against the contract timeline
  • Milestone verification before each payment, with dated drone and photo documentation
  • Change order and fee log: every change, markup, and third-party fee recorded as it happens
  • Closeout inspection and a complete project record for your files

How Capital Project Oversight works

Best for:
HOA and condo boards, property managers, and owners planning or running a roof replacement, repaving, or other major exterior project, on one building or many.

More than five buildings? Larger communities and portfolios are priced on overall project scope.

When the risk isn't on the roof.

The offers above cover physical condition and the work done to it. This engagement covers the rest: the reserves, contracts, and records that decide what that condition will cost you. It's the next step after a free Risk Pulse.

Advisory

Governance & Reserve Risk Review

Scoped on a consultation / priced on overall scope

  • Reserve adequacy analysis
  • Contract review
  • Board-ready report

What this protects

  • Time and governance
  • Cost avoidance

Your board: decisions it can stand behind, and reserve and contract gaps found before they become an assessment.

Details and deliverables

A drone inspection tells you what condition the property is in. It doesn't tell you whether the reserve fund can pay for what's coming, what your management and vendor contracts actually commit you to, or whether the board's records would hold up if a decision were challenged. The Governance & Reserve Risk Review answers those questions with the same risk frameworks enterprise risk functions use, and gives you a scored, prioritized picture of where your exposure is concentrated.

  • Reserve adequacy analysis: your balance and contribution rate measured against projected capital needs
  • Vendor and management contract review: fee structures, markups, auto-renewal terms, and change order provisions
  • Board documentation and compliance posture review
  • Scored findings ranked by severity, with a prioritized action plan
  • A board-ready report you can present at a meeting and reference if a finding becomes a dispute
Best for:
HOA and condo boards heading into a capital project or a new term, property managers taking on or renewing an association, and investors evaluating an acquisition or an existing holding.

The cost of waiting

Planned on your terms, or replaced on the damage’s terms.

On our founder’s own HOA, before Highground IQ, five years of patching ended in an urgent roof replacement across 33 buildings, with $150,000 spent on change orders, including structural repairs from leaks no one had seen. A Baseline Scan costs $495.

Pricing questions.

How fees, payment, and the vendor estimates work.

When do we pay?

At booking for the Baseline Scan and Property Monitoring. Portfolio Oversight, Capital Project Oversight, and the Governance & Reserve Risk Review are scoped on a free consultation and invoiced after you confirm the scope.

Is any fee a percentage of our contract?

No. Every fee is fixed and agreed before you commit, so we gain nothing if a project costs more.

How do the vendor estimates work?

It is a managed service in Portfolio Oversight. We send a Request for Information to vetted vendors and collect at least three estimates for each item, within a few weeks. Vendors are vetted on license and insurance, reputation, manufacturer and public referrals, warranty, and explicit experience for the job. The responses come to us, not to you, and we take no referral fees from any vendor. The estimates are for planning, not bids.

We have more than five buildings.

Portfolio Oversight covers up to five buildings. Larger portfolios are priced on the overall scope: book a consultation and we will quote it.
