Every Forged engagement starts here. Before we spec a system, source a vendor, or schedule a trade — we walk your site, interview your stakeholders, and document exactly what exists, what's missing, and what it will take to close the gap. The Site Assessment is a standalone deliverable with measurable ROI: it eliminates scope creep, surfaces hidden costs, and gives your leadership team a decision-ready document instead of a sales pitch. Organizations that invest in a proper assessment before breaking ground consistently avoid the six-figure change orders and three-month delays that come from fragmented planning.
Roof condition, foundation integrity, load-bearing capacity, ADA compliance, egress paths, and general building envelope — documented with photos, measurements, and condition ratings.
Panel capacity, circuit loading, generator readiness, UPS infrastructure, grounding, and code compliance. We identify whether your electrical supports current operations and planned growth.
Heating, cooling, ventilation, and air quality systems assessed for capacity, efficiency, age, and maintenance history. Includes ductwork inspection and thermostat zoning analysis.
Structured cabling audit — Cat5e/Cat6/fiber runs, patch panels, cable management, labeling, and pathway capacity. We map what's in place and what needs to be pulled for your IT buildout.
Door hardware, access control points, camera placement, lighting coverage, perimeter security, and visitor management. Assessed against both operational needs and insurance/compliance requirements.
Local building codes, fire marshal requirements, ADA standards, environmental regulations, and industry-specific mandates (HIPAA facility controls, PCI physical security, etc.) checked against current conditions.
We start with your people, not your building. Interviews with facility managers, IT leadership, operations, and executive sponsors to understand business objectives, pain points, growth plans, and non-negotiable requirements.
Our team physically walks every space — mechanical rooms, server closets, rooftops, parking structures, tenant areas, and common spaces. We photograph, measure, and document everything that impacts your project scope.
Raw findings are organized into a structured gap analysis — what you have vs. what you need. Each gap is categorized by severity, cost impact, and timeline urgency so your team can prioritize with confidence.
We deliver a comprehensive scoping document — not a proposal for more work, but a standalone deliverable your team can use with any contractor or vendor. Includes an executive presentation for leadership buy-in.
A 2–3 page leadership-ready document with key findings, risk highlights, and recommended next steps. Designed for board presentations and budget conversations.
40–80 page comprehensive report with photos, condition ratings, measurements, and system-by-system findings. Your single source of truth for project planning.
Phased project plan with sequenced recommendations — what to do first, what can wait, and what depends on other work completing. Includes timeline estimates.
Preliminary cost ranges for each recommended action item. Not a binding quote, but accurate enough for capital planning and budget approval conversations.
Every finding rated by likelihood and impact. Critical safety issues flagged for immediate action. Deferred maintenance items tracked with projected failure timelines.
Updated floor plans, cabling diagrams, electrical panel schedules, and system topology maps. Often the first time a facility has had its infrastructure properly documented.
Planning a buildout, renovation, or tenant improvement? The assessment defines your starting point so contractors bid against real conditions — not assumptions.
Moving offices, combining locations, or evaluating a new lease? Know exactly what the building can and can't support before you sign.
Upgrading your network, deploying new systems, or migrating to cloud? The site assessment ensures your physical infrastructure supports the digital plan.
Evaluating a property or business acquisition? Our independent assessment gives you a clear picture of deferred maintenance, hidden costs, and capital requirements.
Facing a HIPAA, PCI, or insurance audit? The assessment documents your physical security controls and identifies gaps before the auditor does.
Proactive organizations run annual assessments to stay ahead of maintenance cycles, budget accurately, and avoid emergency capital expenditures.
