  • Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) is an industry term that describes the process of a qualified group of trained industry professionals performing an analysis of the condition of a group of facilities that may vary in terms of age, design, construction methods, and materials. The industry professionals are typically engineers of various disciplines and skilled-trade technicians, but architects are sometimes used as well. This analysis can be done by walk-thru inspection, mathematical modeling (see Mathematical Model), or a combination of both. But the most accurate way of determining the condition requires walk-thru to collect baseline data. This analysis can be performed on government/public, commercial, and private facilities. Commercial property assessments are more product/service driven, and private inspections are typical of home inspections. ASTM 2018 is a guide for Property Condition Assessments, or PCA, and is used in the Commercial environment. Another sort of facility assessment is a Building Inspection. Most often, the job of a building inspector is looking at a single facility that is needed or required to be in compliance with a building permit, or with a set of codes or statutory requirements. When referenced today, the term FCA describes work accomplished for Federal, State, and local government agencies or entities.
