ABOUT THE OWNERS

United by their passion for construction, Bob and Ken started Reserve Consultants (RCL) in 1992. Initially, their focus was providing reserve studies to condominium associations, but to serve the needs of their clients they expanded the business to include oversight, specifications, inspections and consulting services. They had a vision for a one-stop expert service center that creates value and convenience for their clients.

Together Bob and Ken bring more than 60 years of construction and engineering experience to their clients. Their goal is simply to protect the property of their clients and avoid unnecessary expenses. Reserve Consultants employs accredited reserve specialists, licensed architects, professional engineers and project managers to achieve this goal.

Where most businesses fail in the first 5 to 10 years, Reserve Consultants has been serving Washington State since 1992. Our clients have an appreciation for the honesty, integrity, patience and creativity that we bring to them.
