Facilities Assessment and Planning

PSFEI has a strong history of helping facility managers and owners efficiently maintain building and grounds infrastructure. Our team of highly skilled engineers and system specialists brings extensive experience assessing a wide range of facilities across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Our facility assessment experience includes parks, forests, K–12 schools, higher education, transportation, food service, healthcare, agriculture, and military facilities.

The PSFEI Facilities Assessment and Planning team is proud to offer our clients a comprehensive range of services, including:

  • Facility condition assessments (FCA)
  • ADA accessibility assessments and advisory services
  • Facility asset inventory collection and verification
  • Strategic facility site planning
  • Asset management advisory services
  • Long-range capital improvement planning
  • Lease condition assessments
  • ADA transition planning
  • Maintenance, repair, and replacement planning
  • Building code compliance review and advisory services
  • Building enclosure assessments

PSFEI has been performing facility condition assessments since the early 2000s. To deliver dynamic and actionable results, we developed and maintain an in-house software application, WebiFM. Backed by RSMeans cost data, WebiFM is used to compile, analyze, and share assessment data with our clients. Our team is also highly adaptable and experienced in working within client-specific systems, including long-term use of the BUILDER Sustainment Management System for military clients.

To evaluate complex and diverse facilities, we utilize advanced tools and technologies such as drones, thermal imaging, vibration analysis, and ultrasonic testing to assess asset performance.

As a longtime partner to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we understand the challenges associated with aging infrastructure and limited funding. Our independent, data-driven assessments, in combination with our advisory and planning services, provide clients with the insight and support needed to make informed decisions and effectively manage their facilities.
