A Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) is a systematic evaluation of the physical state of a facility's infrastructure and major systems. The goal is to document the current condition of a building and its key components, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and structural elements.
The primary objective of an FCA is to provide facility managers with accurate data to plan maintenance, repairs, and capital improvements.
It typically includes an assessment of:
The remaining useful life of building components
Deferred maintenance needs
Cost estimates for repairs and replacements
Recommendations for future facility investments
Why the other options are incorrect:
(A) Sustainability reports focus on environmental impact, not infrastructure condition.
(B) A long-term facility plan (strategic facility planning) is broader and includes leasing strategies.
(C) Energy audits specifically focus on energy flow and efficiency rather than overall condition assessment.
Facility condition assessments help ensure proactive maintenance planning and prevent unexpected failures.
