FACILITY ASSESSMENT
Compass serves as your valued partner in identifying, quantifying, prioritizing, and solving system performance deficiencies and the associated risks and liabilities to your building operations. We have experience in all areas of facility engineering including building enclosure condition assessments, MPE consulting, engineering diagnostics, structural analysis and design, and more. Our goal is to develop and implement solutions and strategies to enhance building performance.
Major structural, electrical, plumbing and HVAC components of each structure, as well as site improvements, are carefully examined for condition, status of completion, general code conformance, life cycle costs, sufficiency for their intended use, and extent of defects and depreciation in an assessment . Compass’s team interviews site personnel, performs document reviews and conducts walk-through surveys noting the physical condition of the building systems and components.
Compass’s Facility Assessment may include the following:
Site and Grounds – pavement, curbs, loading docks, walks, landscaping, irrigation, site drainage, exterior lighting, walls, fencing/railings, signage and exterior amenities.
Structural Systems – Foundations and structural framing of walls, columns, intermediate floors, and roofs.
Building Envelope – Roofing systems, exterior finishes, stairs and steps, exterior doors and windows.
Interior Building Components – Interior finishes of common areas and tenant areas. Condition of soft goods will not be assessed.
Mechanical Systems – Property-owned electrical, heating ventilation/ air conditioning, plumbing and conveyance systems.
Regulatory Compliance – Life safety, fire suppression systems, and general visual review of property compliance to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Compass’s services include contacting the local building, zoning, and fire department/authorities to identify any currently outstanding building or fire code violations at the subject property.
