What Can Stelor Do for RFS/DR Providers?

If you write reserve fund studies or depreciation reports for a living, you're likely no stranger to the administrative overload that comes with it: organizing kickoff calls, collecting site photos and building data, managing Excel models, formatting reports, sending invoices, and following up on payment. It's a lot to handle for a process that hasn't evolved much in decades. Stelor is here to change that.

A full workflow tool for reserve study writers

Stelor was purpose-built for reserve fund and depreciation report professionals. At its core is StelorBLD, a powerful platform designed to streamline every step of your workflow:

  • Quote intake and approvals
  • Client onboarding and board interviews
  • File collection and inspection management
  • Component inventory, costing, and lifecycle modeling
  • Financial forecasting and scenario comparisons
  • Final report generation, delivery, and invoicing

Whether you're a sole practitioner or an engineering firm managing dozens of reports, Stelor helps reduce friction, cut down on back-and-forth, and ensure nothing slips through the cracks.

Productivity gains that actually move the needle

Before using Stelor, most engineering firms report that a reserve fund study or depreciation report can take anywhere from 30 to 50 hours to complete. With our cloud-based logic flows, customizable templates, and built-in cost databases, Stelor brings that down to 10 to 15 hours.

And now, with our latest AI integration, report writing gets even faster. Once a study is kicked off, Stelor can:

  • Automatically scan and sort inspection photos
  • Pre-populate sections of your report based on the uploaded files
  • Draft recommendations using your own past language and preferences
  • Flag anomalies and suggest data improvements before submission

We estimate that this will soon reduce the average writing time to 8 to 10 hours per report.

Unlocking higher margins and more billable time

Let's talk numbers. The average reserve fund study in Canada is billed at around $8,000 to $10,000. When a report takes 40 hours, that's roughly $200 to $250 per hour in revenue. But at 10 hours per report, that jumps to $800 to $1,000 per hour.

This level of productivity allows engineering firms to reallocate their most skilled staff to higher-value capital projects. It also gives smaller teams the ability to scale without hiring more technical writers.

Designed for your brand, not ours

Every StelorBLD report is 100 percent white-labeled. Your clients will never know you used our software. Reports follow your format, layout, logo, font, and photo placements. From the outside, it looks like your team built everything from scratch. We just make it faster and more accurate behind the scenes.

Whether you are tired of fighting with spreadsheets or simply want more time for high-value engineering work, Stelor is the tool to get you there.
