Capital Needs Assessment (CNA)

Planning for Your Building’s Future

Planning ahead for any building owner is critical to ensuring their building performs as it should over time. Criterium-Hardy Engineers offers the Capital Needs Assessment, both as a stand-alone service and as an adjunct to a Property Condition Assessment. Starting with the PCA’s detailed analysis of a building’s current physical condition, the Capital Needs Assessment analyzes the building’s capital needs and predicts likely repair and replacement costs over a specified period – usually 20 years. The report provides both a cumulative, life-of-the-building cost projection and a year-by-year estimate of repair and replacement costs.
