Facility Condition Assessments
Condition of building systems, remaining useful life, and long-term capital planning — for property managers, condo boards, and institutional owners.
A facility condition assessment (FCA) documents the actual condition of a building's major systems, estimates how much useful life is left in each, and translates that into a capital plan you can act on. It's the technical foundation that a reserve fund study or a maintenance log book gets built on top of — without it, either one is a guess dressed up as a schedule.
What the assessment covers
A site walkthrough of every major system, cross-referenced against drawings, maintenance records, and age data where available.
- Building envelope: roofing, cladding, windows, and waterproofing
- Structural elements and foundations
- Mechanical systems: heating, ventilation, and cooling
- Electrical systems and life safety equipment
- Plumbing and domestic water systems
- Vertical transportation, parking structures, and site work
- Remaining useful life estimates by component
- A prioritized, costed capital plan
Reserve fund studies & maintenance log books
For condominium syndicates in Quebec, the FCA is the technical basis for both the reserve fund study and the maintenance log book. Rather than treating those as separate exercises, the underlying condition data is built once and carried through to each, so the numbers stay consistent and the plan stays usable year over year rather than sitting in a binder.
How it works
-
Initial call
A short conversation about the building, its age, and what you need the assessment to support.
-
Site visit
An on-site walkthrough of the building's systems and common elements, done by Daniel directly.
-
Report & review
A written report with findings, remaining useful life estimates, and a capital plan, followed by a walkthrough of the results.
