Facility Condition Assessment & Their Use

Facility condition assessments are a familiar concept in facilities management, but practice varies widely among companies and even in our benchmarking group. We would like to hear what your assessments include and how you use them in your capital maintenance program.

Please take a couple minutes to share your input on our short shared practice survey. Upon completion you will get a short briefing paper on this topic and the invite link to our shared practice meeting. (All participants get the survey results after the meeting).
