Bonar Parkdale Place Seniors Home

Project Overview

Bonar Parkdale Place Senior Citizens Non-Profit Housing Corp. retained Roth IAMS to provide engineering services to complete a comprehensive Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) and a 30-year Capital Reserve Fund Forecast for Bonar-Parkdale Place, a six-storey residential building located at 240 Dunn Avenue, Toronto.

The engagement was intended to establish a clear understanding of the facility’s current physical condition, remaining useful life, and long-term renewal requirements to support responsible stewardship of the property and informed capital planning.

Scope and Objectives

Roth IAMS completed a full-scope FCA addressing building systems, components, and lifecycle considerations. The assessment evaluated:

  • Current physical condition of building systems and components
  • Timing and need for future repairs and replacements
  • Remaining useful life and long-term viability of the structure

In addition to the FCA, Roth IAMS delivered several complementary services to support holistic planning and compliance, including:

  • Development of a 30-year Capital Reserve Fund Forecast
  • Building and Fire Code Gap Analysis Review
  • Integrated Energy Efficiency Information for the facility
  • Elevator Inspection, including review of:
    • Machine room
    • Car top and cab
    • Pit and hoistway
    • Elevator fixtures and overall maintenance condition

All condition and planning data was captured and organized using SLAM CAP, ensuring consistency and traceability across deliverables.

Key Deliverables and Constraints

Challenge: Meeting a tight project timeline while delivering a comprehensive FCA and multiple supporting analyses.

Solution: Roth IAMS deployed additional resources and dedicated extended effort to ensure timely completion without compromising quality. A coordinated, multidisciplinary team approach enabled efficient execution across all scope elements.

Client Impact and Success: The project provided Bonar Parkdale Place with a clear, defensible understanding of its facility condition and long-term capital needs.

Through this engagement, the client gained:

  • A structured, 30-year outlook on capital repair and replacement requirements
  • Improved visibility into building system risks and lifecycle timing
  • Data to support reserve fund planning and financial decision-making
  • Insight into code compliance, energy efficiency, and elevator condition

All deliverables were completed within the required schedule, and the project was successfully delivered under budget.

Conclusions

The Bonar Parkdale Place engagement demonstrates Roth IAMS’ ability to support non-profit housing providers with practical, defensible Facility Condition Assessments and long-term capital planning tools. By combining FCA data with reserve fund forecasting and compliance reviews, Roth IAMS helped position the organization to manage its asset proactively and sustainably for years to come.
