Facility Condition Assessments
Our engineers have inspected thousands of structures and provide easy-to-understand reports.
Get an easy-to-understand report card for your facility that removes the guessing and gives you a plan. Our licensed, professional structural engineers will perform a thorough inspection and provide a grade for every area of your facility. You’ll also receive clear, prioritized action items and recommendations to address issues, making moving forward easy.
Additionally, new legislation and guidelines are being introduced that require condominium associations and owners to conduct structural inspections. As leaders in the industry, we ensure our FCA reports fulfill those requirements.
Facility Condition Assessments are available for properties of all sizes and uses – commercial, residential, government, and healthcare campuses. Our toolkit includes 3D laser scanners, thermal imaging and drones, to inspect every element and collect data for forecasting maintenance needs and repair budgets.

FCA Examples
Knott performed a visual assessment and 3D laser scan survey of the interior and exterior of the midrise building to assess whether the previous foundation repairs had been effective in preventing further differential foundation movement. Repair recommendations were provided.
This building is an eight-story residential condominium with three levels of underground parking. Knott was asked to assess the three levels of parking garage in regard to foundation related movement issues and deterioration of the pre-cast double-tee components. Elevation surveys were performed and the grading and drainage on the property was evaluated. In addition to the structural evaluation, Knott was also engaged to evaluate the roofing and façade components of the building and determine the source(s) of moisture causing degradation of the underground parking structure. Precast concrete repairs were subsequently provided and performed.
This is a twelve-story residential condominium complex with a rooftop pool deck and four levels of underground parking. Our FCA found that most of the distress and repairs pertained to concrete deterioration and moisture intrusion at the parking garage levels. Repairs were provided to correct the degradation.
