What is Facility Condition Assessment?

Turning building condition into a defensible number

FCA™ is a systematic process of evaluating the physical condition of a facility's major systems, components and assets. It identifies deficiencies, estimates remaining useful life, and provides cost forecasts for repairs, replacements and maintenance — delivering clear, reliable data for informed, strategic decisions.

  • Unbiased, field-verified condition evaluation
  • Current condition and future performance outlook
  • Issues identified early, before they become costly failures
  • Investments prioritized based on data and value
  • Supports regulatory, safety and reporting requirements
78 / 100 Example score: Good

Each facility receives a single, weighted condition index (0–100) — an at-a-glance benchmark for prioritizing capital and maintenance.

Condition rating scale

How we score every system

Rating Score What it means
Excellent 90–100 Like new condition, no action required.
Good 70–89 Well maintained, minor action.
Fair 50–69 Moderate wear, planned action needed.
Poor 30–49 Significant deterioration, priority repairs.
Critical 0–29 Severe deterioration, immediate action.
