Property Condition Assessments
A formal evaluation of a commercial building's physical condition performed in accordance with ASTM E2018, the standard due diligence product for institutional lenders and sophisticated buyers.
What It Is
A Property Condition Assessment (PCA) is a formal evaluation of a commercial building's physical condition, performed in accordance with ASTM E2018. Rather than commissioning each deliverable separately, the PCA combines them into a single, coordinated report package, the standard due diligence product required by institutional lenders, SBA loans, and sophisticated commercial buyers.
Report Components
- Property Condition Report (PCR): The core ComSOP inspection narrative covering all building systems, with deficiency descriptions, photographs, and estimated remaining useful life for major components.
- Accessibility Report: A visual survey documenting accessibility barriers per the ComSOP-defined scope.
- Opinions of Probable Cost to Remedy: Written cost opinions for remediating identified deficiencies and replacing major systems.
The scope is always customizable, infrared/thermal inspections, air quality/mold testing, sewer lateral and vent stack inspections, and a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment can be added to the core PCA package based on your transaction's due diligence requirements.
When You Need It
Institutional lenders and CMBS transactions frequently require a formal PCA as a condition of financing. Even outside a lending requirement, buyers benefit from a single coordinated package rather than assembling separate reports, findings are cross-referenced across components, and the deliverable is structured the way underwriters expect to see it.
What You Get
One integrated report package, delivered digitally within the agreed timeline, with findings cross-referenced across the PCR, Accessibility Report, and Cost-to-Remedy opinion.
