ProTec publishes “State of the Art” HOA maintenance Manuals for developers throughout the United States. Implementation of our Maintenance Manuals ensures that the HOA performs correct and timely maintenance of their Community’s Common Area after your project has been completed. Over 50% of all construction defect litigation cases are precipitated by deferred Common Area maintenance.
ProTec's 200 maintenance experts maintain over 300 condo, mid-rise, high-rise, Townhome, Master Association and single-family detached communities in California. The knowledge gained from this maintenance experience goes into each and every HOA Manual we write. No other firm writes manuals custom to each community, with realistic maintenance recommendations that are easy to use by the Community Manager and the Board of Directors and based on actual maintenance knowledge and experience. ProTec's manuals are the original HOA maintenance manuals developed in 1991.
With the passage of SB 800 and other Notice and Opportunity to Repair (NOR) laws, builders are obligated to provide and maintain certain information in accordance with various procedures of the new law. Our Manuals help satisfy these requirements, which include:
• Manufactured products maintenance and warranty information; and
• Builder's expressed, limited warranty information.
Maintenance Manuals are also mandatory to obtain an affirmative defense against any SB 800 or NOR legal claim due to "lack of maintenance". One of the first things your claims administrator is going to ask the homeowner or HOA is whether or not they have properly maintained their property. Without a Maintenance Manual, which provides the owners and directors with the necessary maintenance information, guidance and documentation, there will be no affirmative defense for the builder.
Our Manuals, when implemented with our maintenance programs, help developers avoid frivolous construction defect litigation by preventing deferred Common Area maintenance. The Manuals are also a great public relations tool, sales referral tool and help your Community Manager to operate and manage your Community more efficiently - they just make good sense!

Why have these Developers and Builders chosen ProTec to prepare their HOA Maintenance Manuals?
- Licensed Contractors: We are licensed General Contractors. We are also certified Playground and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Planning inspectors. When we write a specification or recommendation it is based on knowledge and experience.
- Maintenance Professionals: In Southern California we perform all the inspections called out in the maintenance manuals and perform all the maintenance tasks, excluding landscaping. We are the only General Contractor in Southern California that specializes in Maintenance Manuals, Manual implementation and maintenance programs. Outside of California we will help you to obtain a licensed contractor to properly implement your HOA manual.
- Partner for 10 years: We are your eyes and ears. If problems arise, you will know about it. We are your partner in creating and maintaining a successful Community! We want you to keep building.
- Insurance: We are the only HOA manual publisher with Professional Liability insurance. In addition, we have $1,000,000 in Worker's Compensation and $2,000,000 in General Liability policy limits coverage. In our litigious society, do you want to take a chance and use a consultant who does not have E & O Insurance?
- Commitment to Industry Improvement: We have been sharing ideas on construction defect litigation avoidance since 1995. Our founder, J. David Rauch has been on the San Diego Construction Defect Resolution Blue Ribbon Task Force with Mick Pattinson since 1995 and helped write the SB 800 Functionality Standards.
- Experience: We have been writing HOA Maintenance Manuals since 1991. Why have other companies copied our Manuals? We set the standard; our goal is to constantly raise that standard.
