FACILITY CONDITION ASSESSMENTS (FCA)

The foundation of proactive capital planning.

If you’re a facility manager or owner, you may be asking what is a facility assessment? A facility condition assessment (FCA) is a visual survey of physical assets that identifies deferred maintenance deficiencies and capital renewal needs, followed by an actionable and prioritized recommended action with associated cost estimates. These results are developed into a long-term capital improvement strategy. FOS is a leading provider of facility condition assessments nationwide.
