What Drives Assessment Complexity?
Factors That Increase Complexity
- Larger buildings with more systems and zones
- Older buildings with accumulated modifications
- Public access increasing life-safety requirements
- Critical facilities requiring redundancy verification
- High-hazard locations adding specialist assessments
- Missing documentation requiring investigative work
- Major renovations creating as-built uncertainty
Factors That Reduce Complexity
- Smaller, simpler building configurations
- Newer buildings with recent code compliance
- Single-tenant reducing coordination needs
- Standard-use buildings with typical systems
- Low-hazard locations with fewer specialist needs
- Complete documentation enabling efficient review
- Unmodified buildings matching original drawings
