Facility Condition Assessment

A multi-disciplinary review of the various systems of a facility that determines the condition of the assets (such as roofs and boilers), the extent of deferred maintenance ("catch-up" costs), and forecasts future lifecycle renewal of the assets ("keep-up" costs). The purpose of the assessment is to prepare a defensible estimate of reinvestment costs so that the owner can make prudent and informed decisions on the allocation of resources to restore defective assets, and to sustain their ongoing performance relative to the owners' goals and standards. The FCA provides a benchmark of the current performance of the building and prioritizes projects for maintenance, repair, and/or renewal. The data is summarized in a Facility Condition Index (FCI) that provides an objective benchmark against which the owners and operators can monitor changes over time.
