Build vs. Buy decisions are common place when analyzing mission critical facility site selection. Having an experienced technical group backing up your review process is what FGC Mission Critical Real Estate Site Assessment provides. Facility Gateway performs comprehensive site assessments and evaluations for all mission critical facilities. It is paramount that any facility, regardless of current lifecycle stage, be well documented, so that one can form a solid understanding of the facility's core structural and operational functions.

Having an understanding of a facility's infrastructure as it relates to both existing and future use will provide the crucial information necessary to know if your facility is operating under an optimum level of capacity. Equal scrutiny on Cap Ex and Op Ex dollars associated with a facility require more than an idle approach to understanding the ongoing environmental use.
