The Asbestos Surveying Process
The process of conducting an asbestos survey involves thorough inspection, testing and reporting. While the survey itself can be completed fairly quickly, the overall process, including laboratory results and report completion can take from 1 to 3 weeks. It's important to allow sufficient time for these steps, especially when planning for any renovation, refurbishment or demolition work, that may be affected by the presence of asbestos.
"Not surveying for asbestos is a high-risk decision that can result in severe health, legal and financial consequences."
