Our Services
We span the full spectrum of truly integrated asset management
Roth IAMS guides you through the Asset Management process to determine the best solutions to fit your budget and to meet your timelines.
Since 2014, Roth IAMS has completed over 17,500 Building and Facility Condition Assessments (BCAs, FCAs) for public and private clients across North America. Our full-time, multi-disciplinary team provides tailored, defensible data to support prioritized multi-year capital renewal plans. We customize our scope of work and data collection to align with each client’s specific business and project needs.
We work with organizations to strengthen their Facilities Management programs through strategic guidance, proven methodologies, and customized solutions tailored to their portfolios. From Preventative Maintenance (PM) planning and equipment inventory to software selection, construction handover support, and lifecycle cost analysis, our services support every stage of the facilities lifecycle—helping clients improve building performance, extend asset life, and align daily operations with long-term asset management goals.
Understanding how your facilities use energy is essential to controlling costs, meeting sustainability targets, and making informed decisions about building operations. Our energy audits and green building strategies provide valuable insights into usage patterns and highlight practical opportunities to improve building efficiency, reduce waste, and support your organization’s environmental goals.
At Roth IAMS, we specialize in helping organizations enhance their Asset Management and Capital Planning efforts by building a reliable foundation of accurate and actionable asset data. Using innovative tools and proven strategies, we’ve partnered with hundreds of clients to collect, organize, and validate their data—enabling smarter decisions, effective maintenance planning, and alignment with long-term strategic goals.
Helping building owners create an inclusive environment for staff and patrons, our Accessibility Consulting services focus on identifying barriers within built environments.
Using a prescriptive approach, we measure non-compliances and systematically assign improvement recommendations, resulting in a consistent and actionable dataset.
Well-designed and properly constructed structures ensure the safety, stability, and longevity of buildings, bridges, retaining walls, and sidewalks of our built environment. However, structural integrity can become compromised over time—due to damage, age, or poor maintenance—requiring a structural assessment to re-ensure occupant safety and extend the life of the asset. These issues often reveal themselves through visible signs such as cracks, corrosion, settlement, or water infiltration.
Our Master & Space Planning services team creates data-driven, practical roadmaps for clients that align their facilities with program needs, enrollment trends, and available funding.
By combining facility data (FCAs, FCI, equipment inventories) with utilization, demographic, and enrollment analysis, we produce prioritized, actionable plans that help our clients mitigate risk, reclaim underused space, and guide capital investment decisions for their organizations.

What is a Facility Condition Assessment (FCA), and why is it important?
A Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) is a systematic evaluation of a building’s physical condition, aimed at identifying maintenance and repair needs. Key aspects include:
Assessing Building Components: Evaluating elements such as structural systems, mechanical systems, and finishes.
Identifying Deficiencies: Documenting existing issues and potential future concerns.
Supporting Capital Planning: Providing data to inform maintenance strategies and capital investment decisions.
FCAs are crucial for organizations to proactively manage their facilities, extend asset life, and allocate resources effectively.
How does Roth IAMS specialize in accessibility in the built environment?
Our facility accessibility audits, assessments, and consulting services help facilities managers create inclusive environments that are compliant with legislative and organizational accessibility standards. Accessibility consulting services identify barriers within the built environment using specialized measurement tools such as distance gauges and slope meters to confirm compliance with standards and guidelines across North America.
Roth IAMS’ AA services include:
Baseline Screenings: provide a high-level visual review based on a tailored checklist, offering initial insights into potential accessibility issues.
Full Audits & Assessments: comprehensive and measurement-based, identifying specific non-compliances and offering improvement recommendations categorized by the Uniformat II classification system.

What does Roth IAMS mean by Deferred Capital Renewal & Maintenance (DCRM) for facilities?
At Roth IAMS, Deferred Capital Renewal & Maintenance (DCRM) represents a more accurate and comprehensive term than the traditional “Deferred Maintenance” (DM). While DM has long been used to describe postponed upkeep, it often fails to reflect the true nature of the backlog—much of which involves major capital renewal projects rather than minor maintenance tasks.
The term DCRM acknowledges that many deferred items require significant capital investment, not just routine fixes. This distinction helps ensure clarity when communicating with stakeholders and decision-makers, emphasizing the real infrastructure needs at hand.
Unlike routine maintenance, DCRM encompasses:
Major System Replacements: Such as HVAC systems, roofing, and structural components.
Critical Upgrades: Necessary improvements to meet current standards and codes.
Long-Term Asset Sustainability: Ensuring facilities remain functional and safe over time.
Addressing DCRM is vital to prevent asset degradation, avoid costly emergency repairs, and ensure the continued serviceability of facilities. By using DCRM, Roth IAMS aims to improve transparency and align terminology with the actual scope of work needed—supporting better funding outcomes and more informed infrastructure planning.
