Facility Assessment

As facility assessment specialists, our design professionals balance the issues of feasibility, cost and aggressive schedules with the unique and diverse needs of our clients.

A comprehensive facility assessment has several components:

Condition Assessment: A survey to identify architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical and site conditions. This assessment addresses your facility's physical condition, where it is at in its life span, and whether or not it complies with current codes.

Functional Assessment: A survey to determine the adequacy of a building to house its intended function. This information helps answer the following questions: How many people and how much equipment can be accommodated? Is there enough space and is it configured properly, or are there space surpluses, deficiencies or functional inadequacies? What is the utilization of space?

 Space Needs Assessment: A survey to determine the adequacy of a building to house its intended function. This information helps answer the following questions: How many people and how much equipment can be accommodated? Is there enough space and is it configured properly, or are there space surpluses, deficiencies or functional inadequacies? What is the utilization of the space?

The data in both components is stored in software that helps manage deferred maintenance and predict future capital renewal. You may find that you need one or both of the facility assessments. Schemmer has a team of professionals specially trained to conduct both types of thorough assessments.
