Programs that Require Site Condition Assessments
| OSPI Program | What is Required | For Additional Information |
|---|---|---|
| Study and Survey | Unlike Building Condition Assessments (BCAs), which must be completed for all SCAP-recognized buildings by a third-party certified assessor, Site Condition Assessments are not required to be performed by a certified third party. While Site Condition Assessments are required as part of the Study and Survey, they may be completed by district staff or another non-certified individual. In practice, the same consultant who performs the BCAs often completes the Site Condition Assessments as well, but this is not a requirement. | Chapter 11: Advance Planning—The Study and Survey |
