Facility Assessment Services Overview
Accurate information about the condition of facilities and building systems forms the foundation for ensuring smooth operations today and planning for future needs. Yet many organizations lack the resources to maintain detailed, accurate data about their facility assets. Facilities managers and maintenance professionals already wear many hats. And facilities budgets are often stretched to address pressing maintenance and renewal needs.
VFA can help. We provide a range of assessment services designed to collect the critical information an organization needs to ensure business continuity and optimize facility investments over the long-term.
VFA helps clients plan the best assessment strategy for their needs, which may include a mix of different approaches for different types of facilities. VFA offers multi-year assessment contracts to assist organizations in maintaining accurate data for capital planning, and in budgeting for the cost of assessment as part of their long-term capital plan.
Clients select VFA assessment services for three important reasons:
- Credibility – VFA maintains one of the largest teams of dedicated assessment professionals in North America.
- Objectivity – VFA offers no follow-on design, construction or program management services. Our only objective is to provide clients with the most accurate and complete information possible.
- Ongoing Value – Our assessors don’t just deliver static reports, but create a central database of asset information that can provide a foundation for the ongoing evaluation of facility needs.
Whether you require a baseline of conditions across all facilities, a targeted evaluation of business-critical systems, or specialized expertise to supplement that of your own staff, VFA has a solution to meet your needs. We help you determine the most cost-effective assessment approach, and ensure a consistent assessment process across multiple facilities. Our core assessment services include:
