What Hawaii law says
Hawaii is one of the states that writes a reserve study into law. Under HRS 514B-148, associations must have a study budget based on a reserve study; an association-prepared study must be reviewed by an independent preparer at least every 3 years; the rule applies to condominium associations.
The statute also says who may do the work: An independent reserve study preparer with an industry reserve study certification (for review of in-house studies). Ask a firm to confirm, in its proposal, that the person signing the report meets that test.
On disclosure: Budget summary shows reserve balance, estimated assessments and method, omitted components, 30-year plan increases, and whether a percent-funded or cash flow plan is used; preparer identity and conflicts disclosed.
CAI June 2026 summary reports small associations (under 20 units, two stories or less) may waive once.
Must fund at least 50 percent of estimated replacement reserves (100 percent under a cash flow plan); separate reserves for parts over $10,000. Owners may sue to enforce.

Get a quoteWhat a study costs in Hawaii
Firms price a reserve study by the work, not the state: the number of buildings, the length of the component list, the level of service and the travel. A community of 50 to 150 units usually pays $2,000 to $8,000 for a full study with a site visit; an update with a visit is quoted at about 50 to 80 percent of a full study, and an update from the desk at 25 to 50 percent of a full study, often under $1,000 for a small community. The cost page has the estimator, the ranges by community size and where the figures come from.
Proposals from firms in Hawaii will differ on the level of service before they differ on the fee. Comparing proposals sets out what to read first.
