ASTM Property Condition Assessments
What’s an ASTM Property Condition Assessment?
An ASTM E2018 Property Condition Assessment (PCA) is a standardized evaluation of a commercial property’s physical condition, guided by the ASTM E2018 protocol established by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). It’s widely used in real estate transactions, property management, and financing to provide a consistent, professional assessment of a building’s state.
What is Involved?
The Property Condition Assessment is based on:
Site Visits
Interviews with owners, building managers, and maintenance personnel (where accessible)
Document Reviews
The Site Visit:
The site visit consists of a walk-through examination by our team of the physical condition of a property. The inspectors investigate Structural components (foundation, roof, framing), Building systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical), Site features (parking, drainage, landscaping), and other critical elements.
The result? A comprehensive snapshot of your property’s physical condition, highlighting defects, maintenance needs, and any deviations from standards.
Why Choose a PCA?
An ASTM PCA is your due diligence tool. It identifies risks—visible issues or regulatory gaps—before they turn into costly surprises. For buyers, it strengthens negotiations. For owners, it guides maintenance planning. For all, it protects your investment with hard data.
