PROPERTY COND. ASSESSMENT (PCA)

DMG’s Property Condition Assessment Report (PCR) Identifies deferred conditions, physical aspects of the property of expected useful life, a cost table for immediate needs repairs, reserve costs over a 12 year term, a simple ADA checklist, and city records research. The PCA is a great tool for investment planing and portfolios that provides immediate costs to update the building and planning future needs and costs annually (over a 12-year term) to maintain the property’s condition. The PCA is a more comprehensive report typically required by Investors, Insurance, Property Managers, and Wall Street Lending Institutions.
