How a Facility Condition Assessment can Manage Risk and Return of Existing Assets

FCA is an evaluation of all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment.

Why should you consider a Facility Condition Assessment?

At Synergy, we prepare Facility Condition Assessments (FCA) for Facility Owners and Managers to help optimize and maintain the physical condition and value of their assets, develop capital budgets, and prioritize resources.

Aging facilities and infrastructures pose huge challenges for Facility Managers. Owners and leaders demand that facility operations remain dependable, yet over time, facility assets need attention. Facilities require repairs, upgrades, and/or replacements to their systems and equipment in order to constantly meet critical goals such as safety, compliance, and energy efficiency. Facility leaders often lack an accurate picture of where their assets are in the useful operating life, making it very difficult to develop appropriate asset management plans and capital budgets. However, there are fundamental considerations for every facility to remain at peak performance.

FCA’s are a vital tool for Owners and Managers to plan and prioritize short and long-term investments in their facilities.

An FCA can also be used to secure additional funding for renovations. FCAs are a vital tool for Owners and Managers to plan and prioritize short and long-term investments in their facilities. An FCA involves a thorough facility inspection by one of our specialists. The goal of an FCA is to identify:

  • Routine and/or deferred maintenance
  • System deficiencies
  • Remaining useful life of all major systems and equipment
  • Capital replacement needs
  • System compliance with original design/engineering intent
  • System compatibility
  • Repair prioritization
  • Total replacement costs
