During the life span of a facility, its structure, envelope and internal operating systems will require maintenance, repair, capital improvements and renovation. What, when, and how these decisions are made impacts the property’s operational safety and performance, and return on investment.

Raba-Kistner delivers results. Our Facilities Engineering Services team responds to clients’ needs with objective, timely, practical answers. Crossing multiple professional disciplines, we evaluate a property and then develop alternative management strategies. These strategies consider the type and age of the structure and existing or potential defects. Occupant usage patterns, health and safety regulations, and clients’ wishes are other variables. Property owners and managers, insurers, and prospective investors are positioned with options for directing funds to maintain and improve the value of their asset, or to safely shut it down.

Our Facilities Services team addresses the asset as a whole while targeting clients’ concerns. A property condition assessment can be conducted as part of a real estate transaction and due diligence process. Damage assessment and remediation scope development often prove invaluable following an emergency. Building code, occupancy and regulatory compliance review and recommendation are typical necessities fulfilled by Raba-Kistner. Maintenance evaluation and development of information management programs can assist short and long-term budgeting.

Because roof systems are one of the most expensive and replaceable elements of a facility, Raba-Kistner has assembled a team of roofing specialists. Our licensed architects and structural, civil and MEP engineers, and registered roofing designers partner with clients to provide comprehensive, innovative consulting and testing services. From preventative maintenance to roof replacement, these specialists have served a diversity of projects including schools, hospitals, hotels, multi-family residential housing developments and condominiums, shopping centers and high-rise offices.
