Using PCA for Risk Mitigation helps financial institutions replace guesswork with defensible building data. PCA findings clarify remaining life, immediate repairs, and system risks—strengthening underwriting, stabilizing DSCR assumptions, and preventing asset-level surprises that lead to loss. Strong PCA integration improves loan quality and portfolio-level risk control.

ASTM Standards for PCA provide a consistent framework that strengthens due diligence, improves report reliability, and accelerates decision-making. For developers, ASTM E2018 offers clearer risk insights, stronger negotiation leverage, and better alignment with lender expectations—leading to fewer surprises and more predictable project outcomes.

Facility Condition Assessments produce valuable insights—but their real power comes when those findings are converted into Facility Performance Data. By linking deficiencies, lifecycle estimates, and system conditions to ongoing metrics and monitoring, facility teams can improve reliability, reduce costs, and make decisions supported by evidence rather than assumptions.

A Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) provides a structured definition of a building’s physical condition, documenting deficiencies, lifecycle needs, and compliance issues. This data becomes the foundation for smarter capital planning and long-term asset decisions.
