What is a Property Condition Report?
A Property Condition Report (PCR) — also referred to as a Property Condition Assessment (PCA) — reviews more than 30 major building and site elements for clients purchasing, leasing or maintaining property or real estate. The report provides descriptions, deficiencies, and recommendations. It also includes probable costs for repair or replacement of damaged or failing building systems or safety issues.
These are customized building inspections of large commercial buildings. Lenders financing these transactions typically demand a PCR. Our reports conform to widely recognized national standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and Standard and Poor’s.
We also offer a Pre-Lease PCR for clients looking to lease buildings of all sizes. They are especially useful for Triple-Net Lease negotiations.
