The primary purpose of a Property Condition Assessment (PCA) is to evaluate the principle building systems.
The secondary purpose is to assign preliminary budget figures for building elements which are expected to exceed their expected service lives.

We usually utilize the ASTM Standard E 2018-08 as a guideline for Property Condition Assessments.
