There are two common commercial inspection formats; ASTM PCA E2018-24 Guideline and the CCPIA Standard.  

--ASTM PCA E2018-24 commonly referred to as a PCA or Property Condition Assessment is a guideline 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).

--The CCPIA Standards of Practice is geared toward providing information for the new owner and operator of the property. You have the option to include a schedule of immediate and short term repairs just like the PCA, however the CCPIA standard involves inspecting the property in more detail for deferred maintenance items. 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.
