Building Condition Assessments Ontario

Detailed Building Condition Assessments

Accent Building Sciences Inc. (ABSI) is committed to providing property managers, owners, and municipalities with the valuable information they need to make informed decisions for facilities, today and into the future.

We specialize in detail-oriented building condition assessments in Ontario. A condition assessment is a tool that aims to help the facility manager and owners understand the physical condition of their facilities, generate a capital budget plan for repair and replacement, and prioritize internal and external resources to fund the solutions they require.

A building condition assessment (BCA) helps determine the facility condition, identify issues before they become severe problems, and guide the allocation of capital for major repairs.

Our Building Condition Assessment Procedures

ABSI's assessors are certified Building Science Specialists. As part of their facility inspection and audit, they compile a complete inventory of all building components during each evaluation, identifying deficiencies and required replacements.

Every component, its service life expectancy and required replacement is documented in an inspection report that includes a long-term breakdown of all capital expenditures. After the evaluation is complete, clients receive the report as a standard guide for capital planning and repairs to facilities. Our reports utilize Uniformat level II 1-5, and include a variety of value-add content for clients, such as energy-saving measures, a review of accessibility throughout the facility, and the functionality for the client to utilize the report in-house if desired.

ABSI are BCA experts. Call us today to learn more about how we can assist you with your building condition assessment.
