Commercial Asbestos Inspections

A commercial asbestos inspection is a critical service for businesses, property owners, and facility managers to ensure their properties are free from hazardous asbestos materials. Asbestos can pose severe health risks, especially when disturbed, and is commonly found in older buildings. Whether you’re managing a commercial property, buying or selling a building, or preparing for renovations, an asbestos inspection is an essential part of maintaining a safe and compliant environment.

At Jim’s Building Inspections, we provide thorough and professional asbestos testing for commercial properties. Our commercial asbestos inspection services help identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), assess their condition, and guide you on managing them safely.

I had a building in southern Tasmania inspected by Peter Berry of Jim's two years ago. His report was very thorough and, having now owned the property for two years, I can attest to the report's accuracy and highly recommend Peter as an inspector.

George from Jim’s Building Inspections is excellent. I'm not a client, I’m a seller and George recently carried out an inspection of my property. I was so impressed with his work that I had to ask for his details and I wanted to take the time to write this review. George was extremely diligent and thorough, carefully checking everything both inside and outside the property. His attention to detail was impressive, and he took the time to properly inspect the property rather than simply going through the motions. He was also professional, respectful and easy to deal with throughout the inspection. I have complete confidence in the quality of his work and would definitely use George in the future. Highly recommended!

Absolutely top-notch service 10/10. I highly recommend Ash’s service. He is incredibly communicative, knowledgeable, and very detail-oriented. As someone who doesn’t know much about the building side of things, I really appreciated how clearly and professionally the report was prepared. It made it so easy for me to understand what needed to be addressed urgently and what to keep an eye on. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that Ash offers handyman services as well. I’ll definitely be using his services again in the coming days. Absolutely top-notch service from start to finish. Highly recommend!

We could not have asked for a better service from Nick. The report was extremely thorough (47 pages long) and had information on every aspect of the house. We were impressed that he tested all the cupboards, taps, and drains in the house. Upon receiving the report, we called Nick for advice and he further explained the details. We will definitely be using Nick for future building and pest reports.

An asbestos audit is vital for any property built before the 1990s. Even properties built after 1990 may have some asbestos-containing materials. Whether you are a facility manager, business owner, or property manager, conducting an asbestos audit can help you identify risks early, ensure compliance with regulations, and safeguard the health of your employees and tenants.

Regular asbestos inspections are essential for:

  • Meeting compliance with national and state-specific asbestos regulations.
  • Creating an asbestos register: This is a legal requirement in many jurisdictions to document the presence of asbestos and to ensure it is properly managed.
  • Avoiding legal liabilities: Not addressing asbestos risks can result in costly fines and potential lawsuits.
  • Protecting the health of your workforce and tenants by ensuring exposure to dangerous asbestos is minimised.

Our commercial asbestos report provides a comprehensive evaluation of your property’s asbestos-related risks. Here’s what our detailed reports typically include:

  • Asbestos registration of all identified ACMs, including their exact locations within the building
  • A thorough asbestos assessment of each material’s condition
  • Photos and documentation of suspected asbestos-containing materials
  • Recommendations for managing and removing asbestos
  • Asbestos testing results, if applicable, with lab analysis from NATA-accredited laboratories
  • Suggested actions to mitigate risks and ensure workplace safety

These reports are essential for maintaining compliance and providing clear documentation should you need it for asbestos management plans or audits.

Regular commercial asbestos testing provides several key benefits for property owners, managers, and tenants:

  • Health and Safety Assurance: By identifying asbestos risks and implementing appropriate controls, you reduce the chances of asbestos exposure for your employees, visitors, or tenants.
  • Legal Compliance: Asbestos registration is a legal requirement for any commercial property that contains asbestos. Regular asbestos inspections and reports help ensure that you’re compliant with asbestos regulations.
  • Cost-Effective: Early detection of asbestos-containing materials can save significant costs down the line by preventing major remediation efforts.
  • Peace of Mind: With a thorough asbestos audit and asbestos inspection report, you can rest assured that your property is safe, compliant, and well-managed.

By choosing Jim’s Building Inspections for your commercial asbestos inspection, you’re investing in a safer, more compliant property environment.

We offer commercial asbestos inspection services across all major cities and regional areas in Australia.

Our commercial asbestos inspections are tailored to your property’s specific needs, providing thorough analysis, asbestos testing, and reporting.

An asbestos inspection is a thorough check of your property for materials that may contain asbestos. This inspection involves visual assessments, asbestos testing, and a detailed report on the condition of any suspected ACMs.

If your property was built before 1990, there’s a high likelihood that it could contain asbestos-containing materials. Contact us for a detailed asbestos audit to confirm its presence.

The commercial asbestos inspection cost varies depending on the size of your property, the number of areas being tested, and the complexity of the inspection. We offer affordable and transparent pricing.

Most commercial asbestos inspections take between 1-2 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the building. Larger properties or more complex inspections may take longer.

While DIY asbestos checks are possible, it’s highly recommended to hire a certified professional for accurate and safe asbestos testing and reporting. Professionals are trained to identify hidden ACMs and follow safe removal procedures.
