The Building’s Overall Condition

Every building is designed with a specific capacity in mind. Where does yours currently fall? If you're looking to increase the number of occupants, can the building accommodate them while remaining structurally sound?
It’s Level of Functionality
Is your building still able to fulfill its assigned purpose, and will it continue to do so in the future?
