Public buildings are a public trust. We help you honor that.
Government facilities serve everyone. FOS works with government agencies and civic organizations at every level to bring rigorous data, honest planning and the kind of documented stewardship that holds up to public scrutiny and earns lasting confidence from the communities you serve.
What we bring to government facility teams.
Sound stewardship starts with knowing exactly what you are responsible for. Our facility condition assessments give agencies a thorough, building-by-building account of the physical condition of public assets, covering structural integrity, mechanical and electrical systems, roofing, interiors and site elements. The result is a clear, documented baseline that supports budget requests, public reporting and long-range planning.
When a government entity is considering acquiring or transferring a property, our due diligence assessments ensure the full picture of condition and liability is understood before any commitment is made.
From that foundation, we help you build the planning infrastructure your agency needs to manage public assets responsibly over time.
Asset tagging and inventory work creates a complete, auditable record of building systems and components across your entire portfolio, supporting lifecycle planning, procurement processes and public accountability requirements.
That inventory feeds directly into a multi-year capital improvement plan that prioritizes need objectively, communicates clearly to elected officials and budget committees and provides the documentation trail that public-sector decision making requires.
Our cost estimating services ensure every line item in your plan is backed by accurate, defensible numbers grounded in current market data. We also help agencies understand and address their obligations around accessibility and building code compliance.
Our ADA and code assessments identify deficiencies across your facilities and provide a practical, prioritized remediation path that demonstrates proactive responsibility to the public and regulators alike.
For agencies working to reduce the operating cost burden on public budgets, our energy audits identify the most impactful efficiency opportunities across the portfolio and help you build a sequenced implementation plan with clear, reportable return on investment.
What civic facility teams are up against.
Public-sector facility management operates under a unique set of pressures. The work is visible, the resources are constrained and the obligation to spend public dollars wisely is always in the room.
Deferred maintenance backlogs that have accumulated over years of underfunding, now requiring difficult prioritization decisions, in full public view.
Budget cycles and appropriations processes that make multi-year facility planning difficult, even when the long-term need is clear.
Limited internal capacity to conduct systematic, portfolio-wide assessments alongside the day-to-day demands of keeping public facilities operational.
Energy and operating costs consume a growing share of public budgets, reducing resources available for direct services to residents.
Public and media scrutiny of facility spending demands transparency about condition, cost and the rationale behind capital decisions.
Aging infrastructure must remain accessible and operational for all residents, including those with disabilities, without exception.
Elected officials and oversight bodies that require defensible, data-backed justification for every facility expenditure.

What responsible public asset management makes possible.
Our approach combines on-site expertise with data-informed analysis to help organizations reduce uncertainty, protect investments and plan with confidence.
Condition data and cost estimates grounded in current, third-party assessment give elected officials and administrators the documentation they need to justify facility investments with confidence.
A well-documented capital plan communicates clearly to residents, oversight bodies and the press that public facility dollars are being allocated based on need and sound stewardship, not politics or guesswork.
Asset tagging and inventory work creates the kind of organized, accessible documentation that supports procurement compliance, audit readiness and long-term lifecycle planning.
Identifying building deficiencies and accessibility gaps proactively protects the public and demonstrates the agency's commitment to serving all residents equitably.
Energy audits identify efficiency opportunities that reduce the cost of running public buildings, freeing up funds for the programs and services residents depend on.
Whether you are seeking state or federal grants, pursuing bond authorization or making the case in a budget hearing, reliable facility condition data makes your ask far more credible.

Have questions? We’re here to help.
Facility condition data is one of the most powerful tools available in a budget or appropriations conversation. Our assessments produce clear, third-party documentation of building conditions and the cost of addressing deficiencies, giving administrators and elected officials the evidence base they need to make requests that hold up to scrutiny. We structure our deliverables specifically to be useful in those settings, not just as internal planning documents.
Yes. We understand that multi-year capital planning in the public sector has to be realistic about how appropriations actually work. Our plans are structured to be actionable within annual budget frameworks while still communicating the longer-term picture clearly. We can also help you identify which projects are strongest candidates for state or federal funding programs, giving your plan additional pathways to implementation.
Documentation standards are built into how we work, not added at the end. Our assessment reports, asset inventories and capital plans are customizable and structured to be clear, organized and suitable for public records requirements. We are also experienced working within procurement frameworks common to government engagements, including cooperative purchasing agreements and public bidding processes.
They can, and the sooner the better. Our ADA and code assessments produce systematic, documented inventories of deficiencies across your facilities, along with a prioritized remediation plan. That documentation demonstrates good-faith effort and proactive response, which matters significantly in regulatory and legal contexts. We have worked with agencies navigating active compliance reviews and can scope the work to address your most urgent needs first.
