NEN 2767 is a standardised methodology for assessing and recording the physical condition of buildings and installations. Developed by the Netherlands Standardization Institute (NEN), this system provides a comprehensive framework for property condition assessment, maintenance planning, and asset management.
The standard consists of four parts:
NEN 2767 utilises a six-point scale to rate the condition of building elements, ranging from 1 (excellent condition) to 6 (very poor condition). This standardised approach allows for consistent evaluation across different properties and facilitates data-driven decision-making in maintenance and renovation planning.
Key benefits of implementing NEN 2767 include:
While originally developed for the Dutch market, NEN 2767 has gained recognition across Europe and is increasingly used in other countries for its systematic approach to property condition assessment.1
Property managers, facility managers, and building surveyors often employ NEN 2767 to ensure a consistent and reliable method for evaluating building conditions and planning maintenance strategies.2
