Facility Condition Index
The Facility Condition Index ( FCI ) is an industry standard indicator of the overall condition of a building . The number is the ratio of the total amount of Deferred Maintenance Projects divided by the current building ’ s Current Replacement Value . The FCI is used in facilities management to provide a benchmark to compare the relative condition of a group of facilities .
FCI = ( Maintenance , repair and replacement deficiencies of the facilities ) divided by ( current replacement value of the facilities ).
