Facility Condition Assessment Offerings
Gordian offers four approaches to Facility Condition Assessments that provide tailored solutions for the specific needs of your organization:
Facility Condition Assessment+ (FCA+)
Do you need project-level detail to drive the execution of your work? Our expanded FCA service includes an intensive effort to identify all specific, required actions observable across your inventory. Documenting additional non-renewal needs — above and beyond the needs identified in our FCA — such as code compliance, life/safety, modernization and resilience considerations, Gordian’s Facility Condition Assessment+ (FCA+) provides you with the detailed information you require.
Facility Condition Assessment (FCA)
Are you looking to enhance your capital planning with precise, asset-level insights from each facility in your portfolio? Our Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) is designed to equip you with a foundational understanding of your facilities’ needs. With our independent perspective and expertise in data generation and validation, our FCAs deliver the essential information and tools to comprehensively assess the condition and requirements of your facilities.
Modeled Assessment
Do you need to make quick, high-level funding decisions across your portfolio? The Modeled Assessment helps our clients justify the need for funding when other project scoping and planning mechanisms are already in place. Utilizing comprehensive square foot costing and detailed lifecycle models, the Modeled Assessment provides accurate cost projections without the added expense of sending a team on-site.

Asset Capture
Gordian’s Asset Capture application provides all the capabilities needed to create a digital record of any facility asset while in the field. A streamlined interface allows users to capture photos, asset information and link RSMeans Data in a single step. Once captured, Gordian’s platform provides a single source of truth for all asset data gathered.
Capital Planning
The first step to creating a unified pre-construction experience is to understand what assets you have and what condition they are in. With comprehensive asset data, industry-leading RSMeans Data and resources are used to analyze and prioritize those assets for replacement.
