Therefore, this guide includes procedures to assist users and consultants in determining the appropriateness of using such information. Such representative observations may be more or less than this guide’s recommended representative observations as provided in Annex A1.

Preparation of a PCR in accordance with this guide is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, the uncertainty regarding the potential for component or system failure and to reduce the potential that such component or system may not be initially observed. Warranty, Guarantee, and Code Compliance Exclusions. Independence of the Consultant. It is the intent of this guide to attempt to identify a balance between limiting the costs and time demands inherent in performing a PCA and reducing the uncertainty about unknown physical deficiencies resulting from completing additional inquiry.

Recommended representative observation quantities for various asset types are provided in Annex A1 ; however, if in the field observer’s opinion such representative observations as presented in Annex A1 are unwarranted as a result of homogeneity of the asset or other reasons deemed appropriate by the field observer, the field observer may survey sufficient units, areas, systems, buildings, etc.

In addition to the specific procedures contained elsewhere in this guide, the zstm should be considered: Astj, no implication is intended that use of this guide be required in order to have conducted a property condition assessment in a commercially prudent and reasonable manner.

Section 1 is the Scope. The guide recognizes a consultant’s suggested remedy may be determined under time constraints, formed without the aid of engineering calculations, testing, exploratory probing, the removal or relocation of materials, design, or other technically exhaustive means.

A PCR should identify any deviations or exceptions to this guide. Document Review and Interviews. Section 3 sets out the Significance and Use of this guide, and Section 4 describes the User’s Responsibilities. There is a point at which the cost of information obtained or the time required to conduct the PCA and prepare the PCR may outweigh the usefulness of the information and, in fact, may be a material detriment to the orderly and timely completion of a commercial real estate transaction.
