Why it matters

A CBI describes what is wrong with a building now, while a PCA also forecasts capital needs over time. Owner-occupant buyers and local investors often choose a CBI for defect-driven decisions. Many institutional lenders require an ASTM E2018 PCA instead, so check the lender's requirement before ordering.
