Organizations have many options when it comes to facility assessment services. But our clients continue to return to VFA for three important reasons:

Credibility

VFA maintains one of the largest teams of dedicated assessment professionals in North America. Our architects and engineers have an average of 23 years of facilities experience, in addition to specialized experience in sectors including federal, state and local government, higher education, K-12, healthcare, banking and other corporate markets. Each is certified in our proven assessment methodologies. Your organization can confidently rely on the results of our assessments to provide expert third-party validity to findings you present to important constituencies such as executives, boards of directors, legislatures and community groups.

Objectivity

Unlike many architectural and engineering firms, for which facility assessments are a supplemental service, VFA’s Professional Services Group focuses exclusively on expert facility assessment. We do not provide any follow-on design, construction or program management services, so our objective is only to provide your organization with the most accurate and complete information possible.

Ongoing Value

While many firms deliver the results of their assessments in printed reports that quickly become outdated, VFA relies on our award-winning capital planning and asset management software to create a central repository of asset information. VFA.facility® supports our assessors in consistently evaluating asset conditions, accurately estimating the cost of requirements, and efficiently reporting on results. Your organization may choose to continue to maintain this asset data and use the sophisticated decision support tools our software provides for ongoing facilities planning and management.
