Capitol Building, FCA, FCAs
When the State of Florida requested a facility condition assessment (FCA) for more than 30 facilities, and they needed all 30 reports in 60 days, GLE didn’t have time to dink around.

The roof is one of the most important, and also one of the most expensive, components of any building.
