What Is a Property Condition Assessment?

A PCA, also referred to as a Building Condition Assessment (BCA), is a professional evaluation of a property's physical condition. It is essential for understanding the current state of a building and planning for future maintenance or investment. The assessment typically includes reviews of the building envelope, roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and life safety systems, as well as site elements such as paving, drainage, and landscaping.

Why Property Condition Assessments Matter
