Facility condition index (FCI)
A ratio comparing defined facility deficiency costs with a stated replacement value, used as one indicator of asset condition.
Why it matters
The included repairs, valuation basis, and date must be consistent. FCI does not by itself measure safety, mission importance, or the urgency of an individual deficiency.
In practice
A project example
Two properties have similar ratios, but one has an urgent life-safety issue requiring priority attention.
