Understand the cause
Visible damage is a starting point, not a full diagnosis. Appropriate investigation helps distinguish symptoms from the underlying cause and identify compatible repairs.
A practical assessment sequence
Review available drawings and records; inspect the facility; document defects and service conditions; identify where targeted tests or specialist input are needed.
Translate findings into scope
Separate immediate priorities from longer-term upgrades. Use verified findings to develop quantities, specifications and a phased work plan.
Plan for the occupied facility
Our recommended planning approach considers access, operating hours, service isolation and temporary arrangements before work starts.
Questions to take into your project
Fortune’s approach: connect assessment findings with the rehabilitation scope, budget and execution sequence. Investigation depth should match the facility and the proposed work.
