What is Commercial Asbestos Inspection?

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.

Austen Lavelle
​I recently had the pleasure of working with Richard from Jim’s Building Inspections in Oatley, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional. I was working within a very tight timeframe and needed a quick turnaround. Richard was incredibly accommodating, fitting me into his schedule and delivering a comprehensive report much faster than I anticipated. Despite the speed, the quality of the inspection was thorough and detailed. What really stood out was Richard’s integrity. He provided a truly personalised service, taking the time to explain his findings in a way that was easy to understand. His honesty was refreshing; I felt like I was getting a transparent, expert assessment rather than just a standard checklist. ​If you are looking for a building inspector who is reliable, efficient, and genuinely cares about providing an honest service, Richard is your go-to.

Dannan Whipps
Outstanding service being out of state. I needed someone who was methodical and outgoing, Richard was fantastic ! His service and professionalism was second to none.
Niall Moore
Justin was awesome. On time and a detailed call after each inspection to talk through each report he did for me. The quality and detail of his reports compared to the vendor provided ones for all the properties he did for me showed me getting Justin to do your reports is worth it. He is good at separating the defects that are common in similar aged buildings and which ones are more of a concern. Highly recommend Justin.

Tim Parratt
Highly recommend Justin Blake from Jim's Building Inspections, Shellharbour. He did an extremely thorough inspection on a property we'd made an offer on – he didn't miss a thing and found some serious structural defects which led to us withdrawing our offer. He saved us from making a very big mistake! Very professional, easy to work with, knows the area and exactly what to look for – we'll definitely use his services again in the future.

K Fitzsimons
I received a Building a Pest Inspection by Riccardo. A+ service. Highly recommend. 🙌 Such a well versed individual, who was efficient, affordable and professional. The report was received same day of the inspection – reading through it was simple to understand and aligned issues with pictures, priority and risk ratings (even for a person like myself with no building knowledge) I couldn’t be more thankful to have chosen Jim’s Building and had Riccardo for my inspection guy. It made the complex stuff of purchasing property just that little bit easier. 💜🙏

Great and outstanding inspector Nihar, I needed an urgent inspector to complete a building pest inspection in Narre Warren, with so many inspectors out there I have had only full trust on Jim’s inspection Warragul who delivered an exceptional inspection of the property and have send the report back to me with in 12 hours of inspection. Nihar worked over night to complete the entire report as it was an urgent report for me. I really appreciate the work he does and strongly recommend him to everyone out there looking to to do an building and pest inspection.

Why do you need an Asbestos Audit?

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.

What do our Commercial Asbestos Report include?

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.

  • 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.
