Chapter 13: Building and Site Condition Assessments 

Building and Site Condition Assessments are required for certain OSPI grants and programs.

• A Building Condition Assessment (BCA) is an evaluation of useful life, energy consumption, history, code compliance and performance standards of a school building and each of its systems. This assessment process identifies and prioritizes the backlog of building deficiencies that should be addressed by the school district’s management plan.
• A Site Condition Assessment systematically evaluates site components to aid in capital planning and prioritization, similar to a BCA. It is a high-level, subjective evaluation, not a detailed audit or inspection.
