Independent Reviews That Uncover Risks, Clarify The Numbers, And Protect Your Investment.

CostQS is a locally based condo‑document review specialist, bringing deep property and construction experience together with real‑world knowledge of Alberta buildings and condo operations. We understand the local market, the financial realities behind reserve funds and special assessments, and the risks that don’t always show up at first glance.
Our role is to give you clarity, confidence, and peace of mind before you remove conditions and commit to your purchase. You get a clear explanation of what’s strong, what’s concerning, and what deserves a closer look—so you can move forward with fewer surprises and a stronger understanding of the investment you’re making.
