Asbestos is a dangerous and toxic material that was commonly used in buildings until the 1980s. It was widely used in building materials such as insulation, ceiling tiles, flooring, and cement. When these materials are disturbed, they release asbestos fibers into the air, which can be inhaled and cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

If you own a property that was built before the 1980s, there is a high chance that it contains asbestos. Therefore, it is essential to conduct an asbestos survey to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your building. An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of your property that aims to locate and identify any ACMs. The survey is a legal requirement for all commercial properties, and for residential properties, it is highly recommended.
