Supporting detail
Before a site visit, facility teams should identify who will provide access, which areas are affected, and any safety concerns the visiting team should know about in advance.
Having existing building records, such as prior inspection reports or system drawings, available during the visit can speed up the assessment and reduce follow-up requests.
Facility staff should plan to walk the affected areas with the assessment team rather than leaving them to locate damage independently, since staff often know the building's history and prior conditions.
A written summary of the site visit, including areas reviewed and initial observations, gives the facility team a starting record before the formal scope is developed.
