Building Condition Audit

The Building Condition Audit is a vehicle for producing a complete inventory of the facility, including equipment, which identifies existing deficiencies. It is a system for thoroughly assessing the existing physical condition and performance of buildings.

The results of this audit are used to address major and minor, urgent and long-term requirements for corrective action, for short and long-term financial planning.

The information from the audit is summarized, prioritized, presented in binder form, and may used to:

	Compare a building’s condition and performance of the facility.
	Define regular maintenance requirements (corrective and preventive).
	Define capital repair and replacement projects.
	Develop cost estimates for capital repair and replacement projects.
	Restore functionally obsolete facilities to a usable condition.
	Eliminate conditions that are either potentially damaging to property or present life safety hazards.

Building Envelope Assessment

The Building Envelope Assessment is an extension of the Building Condition Audit, confining its scope to the exterior shell of the building. Condition of roof membrane, external finishes, doors and windows, and sealants are examined. Signs of corrosion, water leaks, and air infiltration are primary areas of investigation.
