Property Condition Assessments

The purpose of a Property Condition Assessment (PCA) is to observe and report on the physical condition of the subject property and to provide professional recommendations regarding future issues including financial risk or liability to the client.

Major structural, electrical, plumbing and HVAC components of each structure, as well as site improvements, are carefully examined for condition, status of completion, general code conformance, life cycle costs, sufficiency for their intended use, and extent of defects and depreciation in a Property Condition Assessment report. CDS-Inc’s team interviews site personnel performs document reviews and conducts walk-through surveys noting the physical condition of the building systems and components of a Property Condition Assessment report.

CDS-Inc prepares the assessment in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials, ASTM E2018-01, Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessment-Baseline Property Condition Assessment Process.
