Effects of the new Protocols
on Field Units

  1. It is expected that required 5-year interval facility condition assessments can be completed more quickly due to the use of standard methods and automated costing procedures.

  2. It is hoped that resources can be stretched by allowing less skilled workers to assume assessment duties on about 2/3 of the agency's buildings, those with the least value and the least complications.  That would leave the more highly skilled folks to assess the 1/3 which are most complex and valuable.

  3. There should be a more realistic expectation at all levels of the consistency of the data that is collected and input into I-Web.
