Hazardous materials surveys for Sydney buildings
Clear, usable registers for owners, facility managers and contractors before refurbishment, demolition or purchase.
We survey buildings and structures for asbestos, lead paint, PCBs and other hazardous materials, matching the scope to the intended work and the people who need to act on the findings.
The result is a documented record of locations, materials, risk ranking and management recommendations that can support planning, contractor briefing and ongoing building management.

Frequently asked questions
- When should a Sydney building have a hazardous materials survey?
- A survey is commonly considered before refurbishment, demolition, major maintenance or purchase when materials in the existing structure could affect people, planning or contractor work.
- Does a hazardous materials register replace site controls?
- No. The register is an important source of information, but site induction, work methods, controls and licensed removal requirements must still be managed by the responsible project and contractor teams.
