Playground Structures and the hidden expenses

Over Rod Beber's forty years in construction and half of that being in the playground industry, he has come across a lot of interesting items as it pertains to the reserve study and the common area. In this webinar he will be diving into the general cost for equipment, playground surfacing and common area amenities. It’s important to discuss the underlying cost, that sometimes make it difficult for an association, to move forward and understand a reserve study from the operating budget. Park Pro Playgrounds and its sister company ParkPro Tek, services thousands of properties throughout Nevada and Texas and have a lot of insight in the playground industry and how it affects the associations.
