At Nova Group Pacific we deliver comprehensive Property Condition Assessments (PCA) that provide investors, developers and asset managers with the technical clarity and compliance assurance needed to protect built-asset value. Our structured inspections and reporting align with the BCA, NCC and relevant Australian Standards to support informed decision-making.
Buildings inevitably age and incur wear. For commercial property owners and managers, un-identified defects, deferred maintenance or non-compliance can escalate capital works costs, undermine tenant satisfaction and expose ownership to regulatory or safety risk. A robust PCA:

A PCA includes inspection and evaluation of a building’s structure, façade, roof, finishes and building services — including mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and fire safety systems. Nova Group Pacific also assesses compliance with the Building Code of Australia (BCA), National Construction Code (NCC) and relevant Australian Standards to provide a complete picture of condition and risk.
A PCA identifies hidden defects, maintenance liabilities and compliance issues that could affect asset value or transaction outcomes. For investors, it provides a factual basis for negotiation, pricing and CapEx forecasting — ensuring confidence before acquisition or refinance.
For active asset management, a PCA should be updated every 3–5 years, or following major upgrades or tenant transitions. Regular reviews ensure maintenance priorities stay aligned with lifecycle planning and prevent costly reactive repairs.
A PCA focuses on current condition and maintenance planning, while Technical Due Diligence assesses broader acquisition risk, including structure, compliance, performance and CapEx forecasting. Many clients combine both for a complete pre-purchase or asset-management view.
Property managers use PCA findings to prepare maintenance budgets and prioritise capital works. Lenders or trustees reference PCA reports to validate collateral conditions and funding adequacy for loan approval or refinancing.
