What Is a Facade Survey?
A facade survey is a detailed inspection of a building’s exterior envelope. It covers key components such as masonry, windows, cladding systems, and sealants. The purpose of these surveys is to catch early signs of damage, water infiltration, movement, or deterioration so they can be cleaned, repaired, or replaced before serious concerns arise.
As more cities adopt facade safety laws, these inspections are quickly moving from optional to required. Building owners and managers need documentation to prove compliance, especially for aging structures or those located in busy urban environments. Even when not mandated, regular facade inspections are a wise business decision because of the many benefits they offer.
Lifecycle360™ Facade Survey Process
KEVCO is proud to be a Lifecycle360™ Certified Service Provider. This partnership enables us to use one of the industry’s most advanced inspection systems to assess and report on building facade safety.
The process begins with a comprehensive review of the building envelope. Using a combination of drone footage, high-resolution images, and field data, we create a complete map of the building exterior. Every concern—such as cracks, discoloration, sealant failure, and corrosion—is logged, photographed, and annotated.
We then assign each issue a condition rating and lifecycle status. This allows building owners and property managers to prioritize repairs based on urgency, budget, and structural impact. The clear, organized report we supply to you improves long-term decision-making and reduces the risk of missed warning signs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of buildings need a facade survey?
Most commercial and high-rise buildings benefit from regular facade inspections. They’re especially important for structures with aging exteriors, buildings exposed to frequent temperature swings, or those in jurisdictions where facade surveys are required.
How often should facade inspections be conducted?
Facade surveys are typically recommended every five to 10 years for buildings in good condition. Buildings in fair condition may require inspections every two to three years, and annual assessments are often advised for buildings in poor condition.
