An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of the building's materials and components to identify any presence of asbestos or ACMs. The survey aims to determine the type, condition, and location of the asbestos-containing materials and assesses the risk of exposure. There are two main types of asbestos surveys: management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys.

• Management Surveys: Also called level 1 surveys, management surveys are primarily for detecting the presence of asbestos in a building to manage it effectively. This type of survey is non-intrusive and involves sampling of suspected materials, record-keeping, and risk assessment.
• Refurbishment/Demolition Surveys: Also called level 2 surveys, refurbishment/demolition surveys are more invasive and aim to identify all the ACMs in a building before it undergoes refurbishment or demolition. This type of survey involves intrusive methods, such as drilling, cutting, and removing materials to access concealed areas.
