Asbestos Audits & Surveys

 An asbestos audit (also called an asbestos survey) is a detailed inspection of a building to identify:

• Where asbestos is located
   
• What type of material it is
   
• The condition of the material
   
• The risk of disturbance
   

These surveys are required before any renovation, demolition or building work on properties built before 2004.

 You need an asbestos survey if you are:

• Renovating a bathroom or kitchen
   
• Removing walls, ceilings, eaves or roofs
   
• Demolishing part or all of a building
   
• Cutting or drilling into wall sheeting
   
• Applying for council or development approval
   
• Managing a commercial or rental property
   

It is illegal to allow asbestos to be disturbed without first identifying it.
