Facility Condition Assessments generally conform to requirements defined by ASTM E2018-08. This ensures a comprehensive and thorough review of building and site conditions. The inspection and analysis process has four components (the 4 Cs):
Condition – What is the deficiency or problem? Where is it located? How severe is the problem?
Cause – What is the reason the deficiency or problem developed?
Correction – What repair or replacement is required to correct the deficiency? How critical is the problem and when should the correction be done?
Cost – What will be the labor and materials required to correct the deficiency?
Based on this analysis critical facility decisions can be made, maintenance action plans and budgets developed, and capital planning undertaken based on the severity of the problems.
These 4Cs will definitely have a value.
