What is an Asbestos Demolition Survey?
An asbestos demolition survey is a thorough inspection of a building to identify all ACMs that may be present. The survey is designed to locate and assess the condition of ACMs, including those that may be hidden or difficult to access. The survey is typically conducted before any demolition or refurbishment work begins, and its purpose is to ensure that all ACMs are safely removed or managed before the project starts.

An asbestos demolition survey involves a thorough inspection of the building, including all areas, such as:
