The first phase of a program to review the condition of parking garages, structural podiums and building cladding of PWGSC Crown-Owned and Lease Purchase assets in the National Capital Area was undertaken by PWGSC from January to May 2012. The program also included a review of the building condition monitoring process currently in place at PWGSC to monitor the condition of these building components. A management action plan delivered as part of this first phase identified key findings and recommendations related mainly to the need for improvements to internal document management, technical review, and the need to further review high priority assets.

Inventories are to include key information on each one of these building components. Identify data management weakness and propose implementation of corrective action to improve the data integrity support by a rigourous data governance structure with clear role and responsibility. Reviewed the NCA assets Portfolio Strategy developed by Owner Investor for the NCA 2012.
