Join Fred and Bernie as they discuss "Property Condition Assessments" (PCA's), or, depending on where you live in the world, a "Building Survey", with Special Guests Jeremy Taylor and Matt Fagan from Cambium Inc.
What are they? Who requires them and why would you want to get one done? What are the costs involved? We answer all these questions and a whole lot more on this highly informative podcast!
