Description
The condition assessment contains a list of tactical and strategic items that are used to gather a better understanding of how the building is operating in its present state and how funds need to be saved and/or allocated to repair or replace various items. Tactical items are those that will require attention within the first five years of the report’s completion. Strategic items are those that are looked at after five years and are typically reviewed in the 10-year capital asset management plan.
