Joe Cassata, a licensed architect, has worked with facility owners and managers across North America for more than 30 years. In 2009, he recognized their abundance of challenges: aging buildings, decreasing budgets, and increasing maintenance costs. He saw a need to help this group better identify what they own, what condition their facility assets were in, and how best to use this data to plan for their future. To help support these needs, Facility Optimization Solutions (FOS) was born. For over 10 years, FOS has grown from a small, part-time team to a major, multi-office entity within CannonDesign — one of the largest integrated design firms in the world.

Today, FOS has assessed over 600 million square feet of physical assets, performed work in every major market sector, and conducted business across the United States and Canada. In 2021, we were recognized by World Architecture 100 as #1 in the world for Facility Management Services. Our diverse team of subject matter experts exclusively provide physical asset management consulting services – all backed by industry leading software solutions.

FOS is a multidisciplinary professional services and software consultancy that provides facility assessments, capital planning, ADA compliance, risk assessments, preventative maintenance planning, asset tagging, and job order contracting to facility managers and owners all across the United States.

Each one of our team members thinks, works, and imagines a little differently. It’s how we stay at the forefront of innovation and why leading organizations across industries partner with us to solve their challenges.

We’re continually on the lookout for bold thinkers and problem solvers that can help us realize the most impact possible. We are on a mission to hire folks that are ready to work for a purpose-driven firm dedicated to creating solutions for people, businesses, and communities.
