The goal of The PCA, or Due Diligence Inspection, is to identify and communicate the presence of conspicuous defects or material deferred maintenance of a subject property's material systems, components, or equipment as observed during the field observer's walk-through survey. Practices and procedures are performed in accordance with ASTM E2018 - 08 Standard for Property Condition Assessments.
The Inspector conducts a walk-through survey to identify the subject property's physical deficiencies, and inspects or causes to be inspected various systems, components, and equipment. The findings deemed material are then reported in the Property Condition Report (PCR). The PCR incorporates the information obtained during the Walk-Through Survey, and includes Opinions of Probable Costs for suggested remedies of the physical deficiencies identified.
Not every property will warrant the same level of property condition assessment. Consistent with good commercial and customary practice, the appropriate level of property condition assessment generally is guided by the purpose the PCA is to serve; type of property; age of the improvements; expertise and risk tolerance level of the user; and time available for preparing the PCR and reviewing the opinions to be contained in the PCR.
The Inspector gives our clients accurate and reliable assessments of the physical condition of properties prior to the transfer of ownership or collateralization.The Commercial PCA and PCR services allow us to strengthen our clients’ confidence in their real estate investments while protecting their financial interests.
