MENG Analysis' FCA Approach
Multi-Disciplinary Teams with on-site Cost Estimating who all employ our rigorous systems based methodology ensure thoroughly accurate property analyses. We conduct our Facility Analyses using teams of experts who have specialized in the design and construction of the type of facility under analysis. This same Team approach and methodology is used to whether we investigate the condition a condominium association's single facility or the entire State inventory of higher education facilities.
A unique aspect of our services is our ability to enhance pure condition assessments with the analysis of facility improvements and modifications necessary to support the specific operational or program requirements of our clients. This enables MENG Analysis to provide our clients with conceptual design and cost information for future tenant improvements and adaptive re-use alternatives. Such planning information is invaluable and easily incorporated into our Facility Analysis services.
We work on behalf of both public and private property owners or buyers in cooperation with their legal representatives and real estate brokers to identify condition deficiencies, backlogs in maintenance and repair (BMAR). Our independent opinions identify the remaining useful life of systems, costs for repairs or replacement of systems and facility current replacement values (CRV).
Experience in completing Facility Analyses indicate the following key elements to a successful analysis:
- Review of "As-Built" Documents, if applicable
- Inclusion of Cost Estimator on Team
- Facilitated Workshops of O&M Staff, Managers and Planners to document anecdotal information.
- Industry Standard Condition Assessment Matrices and Report Formats

This on-going project began in 2002, when JLARC needed to make recommendations to the Legislature about how to prioritize facility needs for all the higher education institutions throughout the state, they chose to work with MENG Analysis. Since then, reponsibility for this project has been transferred to HECB and now currently with OFM. MENG Analysis has remained consistently with this project through each update of the State's Comparable Framework for Higher Education Facility Preservation. |
