A Property Condition Assessment (PCA) is a systematic inspection, review, and report on the state of a building’s structure and systems. Performed by architects, engineers, and skilled-trade workers, this evaluation helps organizations identify and address areas that need greater maintenance and repair investments. The chart below summarizes the breadth of an effective PCA:
Final Report
The assessor’s final written report will tell you what needs to be repaired, replaced or upgraded immediately to conform to industry standards. The assessor will estimate the lifespan of the building’s elements and systems and provide best practices for maintaining and maximizing the performance of your facilities. Estimated costs for repairs or replacements will also be included.
Benefits
Knowing beforehand what to prioritize for repair and maintenance helps property owners prepare a capital budget for the associated costs. It also allows them to save money up front since proactive maintenance costs are significantly lower than reactive repairs.
Pastors, if you would like to explore doing a PCA please contact us. You can find a sample property condition assessment report in the portal as well more detail about which components are checked during the process.
