Company profile

researched Sep 2026

HomeRun IQ develops a cloud-based property assessment platform used by engineering firms and reserve specialists to produce reserve studies, Structural Integrity Reserve Studies (SIRS) and property condition assessments (PCAs) for multi-unit residential properties. The product covers the full assessment workflow: field data capture, report building and branding, financial modeling of funding plans, and client delivery. A mobile application lets inspectors take and annotate photos, tag images to properties or components with GPS location, add components from a shared component database, and record property-wide observations; it operates fully offline on phones and tablets and syncs when connectivity returns.

In the office, the platform generates fully customizable, branded report templates in which a single data change propagates across tables, charts and templates. It supports standard industry funding methods, including pooled/cash-flow, straight-line (component method) and threshold funding, and allows users to compare up to eight funding plans side by side. Other capabilities include a centralized component cost database shared across projects, phased component activities and separate schedules, bulk photo mapping and caption editing from a central workspace, a spreadsheet-style matrix of projected expenditures by year, team roles and access controls, built-in progress tracking, and real-time editing during client meetings with shareable digital studies that clients, property managers and board members can access. Built-in guidance, state-specific baseline calculations and sample reports address local regulatory requirements, including Florida SIRS and SB 4-D compliance.

The company positions the platform as an alternative to Word and Excel workflows and rigid legacy software, claiming reports can be produced up to five times faster than with conventional software.

Business model

HomeRun IQ sells software to professional services firms that perform property assessments, with a master subscription agreement governing platform use. Onboarding is delivered as a white-glove implementation that includes live working sessions, hands-on training, configuration of templates, branding and workflows to the firm's methodologies, data migration support from existing systems, and ongoing support. Platform access is offered from any computer with no stated limits on users or devices.

Traction

The company states its platform supports engineers evaluating properties across nearly every state. Published customer testimonials report increases in daily report output from 2-3 to 10-15 per day, a 20% reduction in labor hours per study alongside 80% first-year net revenue growth at Epic Forensics & Engineering, and fee improvements of 30-40% attributed to built-in templating at Charles Taylor.

Latest developments

A mobile application for field data capture is flagged as new: it allows photo capture and annotation, component additions from the organization's component database, GPS tagging, and property-wide observations, and works fully offline with automatic syncing into the study.

▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history

Market position

HomeRun IQ targets the reserve study, SIRS and PCA segment of property assessment software, framing the market opportunity around aging multi-unit housing stock — the company states that about half of Americans live in multi-unit properties with a median building age over 40 years and trillions in accumulated deferred maintenance liabilities — combined with a shortage of qualified engineers and reserve specialists.

The product was developed in partnership with practicing engineers and reserve specialists, and is positioned around adapting to each firm's existing methodologies, templates and branding rather than imposing fixed report formats, while automating financial modeling, photo handling and data propagation. Specific differentiators cited include offline field capture, eight-way funding plan comparison, a persistent institutional component cost database, and live report editing during client meetings.

Technology

Cloud-based architecture supporting high volumes of photographic documentation with no stated limit on images per component, an offline-capable mobile application for iOS/Android-class phones and tablets that syncs field data automatically, a centralized component cost database, a flexible reporting engine with customizable templates and automatic propagation of data edits, and financial modeling supporting threshold, straight-line/component and pooled cash-flow methods with side-by-side comparison of up to eight funding plans.

Go-to-market

The company markets through its website with demo requests as the primary conversion point, supported by customer testimonials from engineering and assessment firms, and emphasizes guided implementation and training as part of onboarding. Its founder participates in Community Associations Institute (CAI) think tank and task force activity addressing industry policy, standards and best practices.

Engineering firms, reserve specialists and property assessment professionals producing reserve studies, structural integrity reserve studies and property condition assessments for condominiums, HOAs, co-ops and rental communities, along with their end clients such as associations, property managers and board members.

Geography

Headquartered in San Francisco, with a platform used by engineers evaluating properties across nearly every U.S. state and specific support for Florida SIRS and SB 4-D requirements as well as other state-specific calculations.
