A baseline commercial property inspection (referred to as a Property Condition Assessment, or PCA, by the standards set forth by the American Society for Testing and Materials) relies on a walk-through survey, document review, and interviews to determine the property’s condition – all performed by a professional AmeriSpec commercial property inspector. The results of the PCA are reported in a Property Condition Report (PCR). The report includes information obtained from the PCA, as well as opinions on probable cost for suggested remedies.
This valuable information helps owners and buyers in understanding operation and maintenance costs and also helps provide confidence to prospective purchasers that the transaction is solid.
The AmeriSpec baseline commercial property inspection
The specific areas to be inspected are based on various factors. Age, occupancy,
and type of construction are considered when determining how the property will be
inspected and the performance criteria needed to complete a high quality inspection.
Inspections can range from a visual examination of the property, to a comprehensive
inspection of all the building’s technical components:
- Site Characteristics (Paving, Landscaping, and Utilities)
- Structural Frame and Building Envelope
- Roof Surface Areas
- Mechanical and Electrical Systems
- Plumbing Systems
- Heating Systems
- Air Conditioning and Ventilation Systems
- Vertical Transportation
- Life Safety/Fire Protection
- Interior Elements
- Document Review
- Opinions of Probable Costs
- Recommendations
