Under the new Accommodation contracts, which came into service on 1 April 2022, there is a requirement for Amey and VIVO to carry out Facilities Condition Management (FCM) Assessments of all homes within their region in the first three years.
The objective of the FCM Assessment is to provide DIO with a baseline condition of all homes across the Defence Estate to help inform future investment decisions. They are completed by VIVO or Amey who use a DIO owned FCM Application (App) with a standard methodology provided by DIO.
To minimise disruption to families, Amey and VIVO will seek to complete these assessments alongside other visits such as response repair appointments, Landlord Gas Safety Inspections or in periods such as between Move-ins where homes are empty. As a result, an FCM assessor may accompany an operative undertaking a scheduled appointment.
The assessments should take no longer than an hour to complete. The results of these surveys will not impact current CAAS SFA charges; the survey is not a CAAS survey.
