ASTM E2018-08 Standard – Property Condition Assessments

The ASTM E2018-08 Standard is the industry standard for baseline Property Condition Assessments. Fully named “ASTM E2018-08 Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments: Baseline Property Condition Assessment Process,” the Standard outlines the purpose and scope of the Property Condition Assessment including the walk-through survey, document reviews and interviews, as well as the contents of the Property Condition Report. According to ASTM E2018, the goal of the Property Condition Assessment is to identify and communicate physical deficiencies of the subject property.

The ASTM E2018-08 Standard was created by the American Society for Testing and Materials (now simply ASTM International). The E2018 Standard was originally published in 1999 and updated in 2001 and 2008 (now called E2018-08). The standard is reviewed and revised by the ASTM Committee E50 on Environmental Risk Assessment, Risk Management and Corrective Action.
