Who this is for
Maintenance / facility manager
You live with the failures
You already know which units are trouble. The assessment puts that on paper with a condition rating and a cost, so the argument you have been making internally stops being an opinion.
Director of facilities
You own the capital budget
You need to know what is coming before the fiscal year closes, not after a unit fails in July. The plan gives you a prioritized list with cost ranges and timing you can defend.
Every unit, walked
We get on the roof and into the mechanical room. Make, model, serial, age and tonnage recorded per unit, per site.
Condition rating
A rating and a remaining-useful-life estimate on each piece of equipment, using the five-status system.
Failure forecast
A view of what is likely to fail, with replacement cost ranges attached.
Repair vs. replace call
A full-cost risk analysis, so you are not quoting a repair on a unit that should be on the replacement list.
Coverage recommendation
What service coverage actually makes sense for the portfolio you have, in writing.
The statuses this page is about
Capital planning is what happens once a unit stops being routine. These are the three rows that trigger a budget conversation.
Equipment status board
Aging equipment
What it means
Approaching end of useful life. Efficiency declining.
Your risk
Rising
What we do
Begin replacement conversations. Budget planning recommended.
Major repair likely
What it means
Major components showing wear. Failures increasing.
Your risk
High
What we do
Provide repair vs. replacement options. Evaluate long-term cost impact.
Replacement candidate
What it means
Severe aging or major failure. Not cost-effective to repair.
Your risk
Critical
What we do
Prepare replacement proposal. Prioritize in replacement pipeline.
How it connects
01
Condition assessment
We walk every roof and mechanical room and inventory what is actually there.
02
Written capital plan
Condition ratings, remaining useful life, a failure forecast and replacement cost ranges.
03
Service agreement
Maintenance scoped to the equipment the plan says needs it.
04
Proactive replacements
Changeouts scheduled into your budget cycle instead of into an emergency.
Questions we get
What does a condition assessment involve?
We walk the roofs and mechanical rooms, record what is there, rate its condition and write it up. If the plan says your equipment is in good shape, that is a useful answer too.
How long does it take?
That depends on the size of the building and how much equipment is on it. Multi-site portfolios are scheduled in batches so you get results as we go rather than waiting for the whole estate.
Do I have to sign a service agreement to get the plan?
No. The assessment stands on its own and the plan is yours. Most clients move to an agreement afterwards because the plan makes it obvious which equipment needs the coverage, but that is a separate decision.
What is the difference between this and a maintenance quote?
A maintenance quote prices visits. A capital plan prices outcomes: which units will fail, when, what the replacement costs, and what it costs you to wait. Most contractors quote the repair in front of them.
Where do you cover?
Our crews work in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Missouri, and our coverage extends across the central and southern United States. Tell us where your sites are and we will tell you how we would cover them.
What happens to the plan after year one?
We keep the equipment records current as repairs and replacements happen, so the plan is a living document rather than a one-off report that ages out.
