Gordian’s Assessment Options: Self-Assessment

By Gordian

Monitoring an organization’s facilities portfolio can quickly become overwhelming. To gather all necessary data to track, maintain and improve facilities, leaders need to commission a facility condition assessment (FCA). Because all buildings have unique characteristics (such as age, size, function and level of strategic importance) and every organization has different needs, conducting an FCA should not be a one-size-fits-all process. Instead, the right assessment type should be selected based on specific criterion.

How do you know what type of assessment your organization needs? The answer largely depends on the level of detail you require as well as the time, budget and in-house expertise you have at your disposal.

Gordian offers four types of assessment options including Self-Assessment on Gordian Cloud Platform, Modeled Assessment, Facility Condition Assessment and Facility Condition Assessment+. Today, we’ll be exploring the key features and advantages of the Self-Assessment tier.

Self-Assessment: The Basics

Gordian’s Self-Assessment solution is an excellent fit for organizations seeking the tools, standards and resources to perform in-house capital planning. As the most flexible and cost-efficient option available, Self-Assessment (located on Gordian Cloud Platform) is fully controlled in-house by an organization’s staff. It is intended to be used by groups that have a strong command of the capital planning process, yet lack the latest software and standardization needed to create quality capital plans.

Find out how conducting an FCA can help you make confident capital plans.

When Do You Need Self-Assessment?

This assessment tier is intended to be used by mature capital planning organizations that are lacking the tools and resources they need to create optimized capital plans. It is not suitable for companies needing on-site or guided assistance with capital planning needs, nor for those desiring a dedicated project team. Rather, the Self-Assessment software is built for organizations that have staff who are already experts in facilities assessments and capital planning.

Benefits of Self-Assessment include:

  • Capital Planning on Gordian Cloud Platform 
  • Mobile Data Capture Application 
  • Software support (access to Gordian’s Customer Success Team for software-related questions) 
  • RSMeans™ Data Facility Maintenance & Repair Cost Data 
  • UniFormat Data Classification

What You Can Do With Self-Assessment

As mentioned already, Self-Assessment gives mature capital planning organizations the ability to create high-quality capital plans for their clients (or for themselves). This advanced software provides an easy-to-use platform that can collect information and store facilities data in a centralized location. Using the stored data, in-house staff can generate dashboards that pinpoint the specific facilities needs of an organization. While learning to use the many valuable features that come with Self-Assessment on Gordian Cloud Platform, users have access to Gordian’s knowledgeable support staff for all software-related questions, ensuring successful adoption of the platform.

Expand Your Organization’s Capital Planning Capabilities

If your organization needs the right capital planning tools that can be used independently, there’s no better option than a Self-Assessment. Enjoy the benefits of having the latest insights, technology and expertise at your fingertips.
