Standards and Guides
There are two common commercial inspection formats.
Small to medium commercial property inspections may be best served with the Certified Commercial Property Inspection Association (CCPIA) Standards of Practice. The CCPIA Standards of Practice is geared toward providing information for the new owner and operator. You have the option to include a schedule of immediate and short term repairs. The CCPIA standard involves inspecting the property in more detail. For example the ASTM PCA will document the presence of HVAC units and provide a brief condition assessment. With a CCPIA inspection we open those cabinets when safe and observe the heating components, filters, fans, and compressors.
Large Projects are sometimes better served by the ASTM E2018-24 Property Condition Assessment (PCA) Inspection Guideline with a Property Condition Report (PCR). Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac lenders often require this format. ASTM PCA E2018-24 guideline is geared toward documenting the existence and overall condition of the major systems for lenders and investors. The ASTM PCA includes cost estimates for immediate and short term repairs. Choose this option if your lender is requiring a Property Condition Assessment (PCA).
