FACILITY ASSESSMENT


We provide facility assessment services that deliver a clear, objective understanding of existing buildings and infrastructure. By documenting conditions, performance, and deficiencies, we help owners identify risks, prioritize needs, and plan responsibly. Facility assessments establish the factual foundation for informed planning and design decisions.

Our facility assessment services include:

Existing Conditions Survey

  • Building systems evaluation

  • Architectural, structural, and envelope review

  • Accessibility and life-safety considerations

  • Deferred maintenance identification

Performance & Risk Analysis

  • Functional and operational assessment

  • Code and regulatory observations

  • Risk identification and prioritization

  • Order-of-magnitude cost considerations

Reporting & Recommendations

  • Clear documentation of findings

  • Prioritization of repairs and improvements

  • Support for capital planning and budgeting

Assessment Approach

Our assessments are methodical, objective, and focused on usability. We evaluate facilities through site observation, documentation review, and coordination with owners and stakeholders. Findings are presented clearly, allowing decision-makers to understand current conditions and implications without unnecessary technical complexity.

Assessments are structured to support future planning and design, not to prescribe solutions prematurely.

Relationship to Master Planning & Architecture

Facility assessments often serve as the starting point for master planning and architectural services. The information gathered provides a reliable basis for strategic planning, capital prioritization, and informed project development.

By establishing a clear understanding of existing conditions, assessments reduce uncertainty and support more effective planning and architectural outcomes.

Assessment Applications

Facility assessments are commonly used to support:

  • Capital improvement planning

  • Renovation and adaptive reuse projects

  • Long-term maintenance strategies

  • Pre-design and feasibility studies.

Integrated Services

Facility assessments are frequently coordinated with:

  • Master Planning

  • Architecture

  • Historic Preservation

This integration supports continuity from analysis through implementation.
