Asset Assessments

Insights That Support Safer, Smarter Infrastructure

Frame Group provides comprehensive asset assessment services that support confident decision-making, risk management and long-term planning. Our work gives clients a clear picture of the condition, purpose and performance of the tracks, structures and outdoor infrastructure they manage.

We combine technical expertise with deep sector knowledge to produce assessments that are accurate, practical and tailored to each organisation’s needs. Whether you’re managing an entire network or a single high-risk site, we can help you better understand what you’ve got, what condition it’s in, and what comes next.

Clear insights today mean fewer surprises tomorrow.

What We Assess

We undertake a range of asset assessments, with a focus on both current performance and future needs.

Condition Assessments

We assess the physical condition and structural performance of tracks and outdoor visitor structures to help clients manage risk, maintain safety and extend the life of their assets.

We assess outdoor assets in terms of:

Compliance with relevant standards
User safety
Structural integrity
Preservation and extension of asset life

Each condition assessment informs planning and asset management decisions by providing:

Accurate descriptions, attribute data and GPS location
Estimated remaining life
Condition grading
Identified risks, issues and remediation requirements
Cost estimates for remediation or replacement
Prioritisation and timing of works
Maintenance recommendations

Fit for Purpose Assessments

We assess whether an asset is suitable for the way it is used now, and how it’s expected to perform into the future.

These assessments help clients make informed, strategic decisions about renewal, upgrade or investment, and are often used to guide capital expenditure planning.

Each assessment considers:

Intended Purpose – whether the asset supports the intended visitor experience or operational objective
Use Types – including walking, cycling or other modes of active transport
User Groups – the needs of different users
Volume of Use – current usage levels and anticipated future demand

Fit for purpose assessments are often used alongside condition assessments to support prioritisation, budgeting and long-term asset strategy.

Assessment Scale and Flexibility

Flexible to Suit Every Organisation

No two organisations have the same assets, budgets or risk profiles. That’s why our assessment services are designed to scale. From one-off inspections to scheduled assessments across large networks, we adapt our approach to suit each client.

We tailor every project to the size, complexity and priorities of the organisation. Whether you need to monitor a high-use structure, assess a group of high-risk assets or maintain oversight across hundreds of sites, we can provide a structured and reliable framework.

We offer:

Full Portfolio Assessments – regular or one-time assessments of an organisation’s complete network
Targeted Assessments – focused reviews of selected or high-risk assets
Single Site Assessments – one-off inspections for individual structures, often in response to a specific concern or change in use

We also assist with setting up internal assessment schedules, reporting frameworks and integration with broader asset management systems.
