His Facility Condition Assessment experience has assisted organizations in knowing what is in their portfolio and the condition of that facility (specializing in life cycle cost analysis, accessibility consulting, ADA compliance, and Fair Housing Act compliance) to gain visibility into the appropriate level of capital funding and to prioritize the funding to align with the organization’s mission and goals.
