ASTM E 2018 is a guideline for producing a baseline Property Condition Assessment (PCA) of commercial real estate. The scope of a PCA is up to the user and can range from a baseline assessment of the property to a much greater, in depth investigation of the property by various experts. In other words, it’s the customer’s choice as to the overall scope of the PCA based on their requirements and what purpose the PCA is to serve. A Champia inspector can help determine the scope needed for the customer’s particular needs.
