HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SURVEYS FOR DEV. APP. AND DEMOLITION PROJECTS.

For major refurbishment and demolition projects it is advisable and required under the Australian Standard for Demolition to have a hazardous materials survey carried out prior to commencement of work on site. In our experience these surveys are worthwhile carrying our even when there has been a previous asbestos or hazardous materials survey carried out to the site, as the access for sampling and intrusive works are more than often restricted when the building is occupied.
