J. David Rauch is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of ProTec Building Services, an HOA General Contractor maintaining over 1,500 communities throughout Southern California and Nevada. In 1992, Dave co-invented the first HOA Preventive Maintenance Manual and ProTec has since written thousands of manuals for developers and communities around the country. In 1996, he invented the common area maintenance program (CAMP) to streamline the community maintenance process. CAMPs allow communities the ability to proactively maintain their communities on an on-going basis through frequent inspections and preventive maintenance strategies.
In addition to his role at ProTec, Dave was a founding member and officer of CACM’s (California Association of Community Managers) Affiliate council. He chaired the California Licensing & Insurance subcommittee and oversaw the creation of its California Licensing and Insurance Matrix. Dave also served on the board of directors of the BIA-SD Urban Council and was a long-term member of its Risk Task Force. In 2003, he was recognized for his work in helping draft the outline and the functionality standards within SB 800 (California’s Right-to-Repair Law) as well as working on the Task Force’s Best Management Practices matrix, outlining guidelines for implementing preventive maintenance programs, and for quality home and community building strategies in California.
Following the Champlain Towers South collapse in 2021, he assisted two CAI national task forces: Building Maintenance and Structural Integrity, and Reserve Study and Funding Plans. Their goal was to create recommendations for state legislatures to adopt statutes and best practices that can help prevent future building tragedies. Dave also chaired the committee responsible for creating CAI's Best Practices: Community Association Maintenance report, which was released in May 2023. Dave also serves as a member of CAI’s Foundation for Community Association Research Think Tank and was appointed to the Foundation for Community Association Research Board of Directors.
Dave obtained a bachelor's degree in City Planning from the School of Architecture at the University of Virginia, and he also earned a Certificate in Real Estate from the University of California at San Diego. Dave lives in San Diego with his wife Kerry and enjoys hiking, but most importantly skiing.
