What should be included in a pre-test property assessment?

The main idea is to plan the testing approach before any samples are collected. A pre-test property assessment should outline where to test, which surfaces to sample, which sampling methods to use, what safety measures to implement, and how occupancy will be managed during testing. This upfront plan helps ensure samples are representative and collected consistently, reduces the risk of exposing occupants to lead dust, and makes testing work smoothly around how people live in the space. While budgeting for testing and abatement and awareness of local housing codes have their roles in a project, they’re not the part that defines how the testing itself is conducted, and occupant privacy preferences don’t determine the testing plan.
