Facility Condition Assessment

Facility Condition Assessments (FCAs) include the base scope of services outlined in the ASTM Standard for PCAs, with additional services for building owners and facility managers who require long-term planning for their owned facilities. We provide services ranging from standard reporting with cost estimates to ongoing consulting with implementation or data entry for facility management software packages for clients with multiple facilities to track.

Building Forensics

Using state-of-the-art investigative technologies and methods, TRC can accurately evaluate fully developed or partially constructed real estate assets that may be damaged, worn down or pose negative cost impacts.

We test roofing, windows, doors, cladding, insulation systems and exterior joints and layers to investigate R-values, weather resilience, hazardous materials risks and estimated useful life (EUL) using destructive and nondestructive testing, including thermal imaging, seismic monitoring and building security assessments.

Our testing and analysis provide critical pre construction data for emergency repairs, mold removal, renovations and abatements, and accessibility improvements, as well as determination of Scenario Expected Loss (SEL), LEED certification and energy cost containment programs.
