Building Condition Assessment (BCA)

The purpose of building condition assessment is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of a building’s physical condition, functional performance, and maintenance needs. The main objectives of a building condition assessment are:

• To identify and evaluate the current condition of the building and its components, such as structure, roof, walls, windows, electrical and mechanical systems, and other building elements.
• To determine the remaining useful life of the building and its components and to predict future maintenance needs and repairs.
• To prioritize necessary repairs, replacements, or upgrades to improve the building’s performance and extend its life.
• To provide cost estimates for the recommended work to help owners make informed decisions about the building’s maintenance and upgrades.
• To provide recommendations for ongoing maintenance and preservation of the building to maintain its condition and performance over time.
• To support decision-making for real estate transactions, such as sales, financing, and leasing, by providing accurate and reliable information about the building’s condition and value.

In summary, the purpose of building condition assessment is to help building owners and managers make informed decisions about the maintenance, preservation, and upgrading of their building to ensure its long-term performance and value.
