Before you disturb existing materials

Planning a renovation or removal project? A1 can inspect suspect materials and arrange sampling to help establish whether asbestos is present within the agreed scope. Discuss testing before work disturbs the materials.

Defining a phased office or retail fit-out

A Columbia commercial fit-out can disturb materials above suspended ceilings or beneath multiple layers of flooring. Share the demolition plan and the areas contractors will access for wiring or plumbing. If the work is phased, identify each phase at the outset so an inspection for one suite is not mistaken for coverage of the entire property.
