Building and facility condition assessment
Building and facility condition assessments, the Facility Condition Index (FCI), and portfolio condition reporting, through our building and facility design services.
Building and Facility Engineering Services
Avodahtec provides independent engineering services for buildings and facilities across Canada, from condition assessment and capital planning to design, upgrades, and renewal. We help owners understand the real condition of their buildings, plan and fund the work they need, and deliver it, often inside occupied, operating facilities. Because we hold no stake in construction, our condition ratings and recommendations serve the building and the budget, not a contractor's sale.

The challenges building and facility owners face
Owners of aging buildings face a common set of pressures:
- Aging buildings and systems, and a growing backlog of deferred maintenance
- Capital planning across a portfolio with more need than available budget
- Funding and reserve requirements that demand defensible condition evidence
- Code, accessibility, energy, and safety requirements to meet and verify
- The need to upgrade and renew while the building stays occupied and operating

What is the Facility Condition Index (FCI)?
A measure that expresses a building's deficiency costs as a proportion of its replacement value, letting owners rank and track a whole portfolio on a consistent basis.
Can Avodahtec work in occupied or operating buildings?
Yes. We routinely assess, design, and deliver upgrades inside occupied facilities, including sensitive healthcare and institutional buildings, with minimal disruption to operations.
Does Avodahtec work outside Alberta?
