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.

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.

Dudley Staples from Jim's Building Inspections Duncraig in Perth was highly recommended to me by a property manager to do the Post Completion Inspections for a house we built in the northern suburbs of Perth. After having carried out three post completion inspections last year and a maintenance inspection eleven months later this year, I am so glad I appointed him to do the inspections. Dudley is incredibly good at what he does and meticulous with inspections. He even gets into the attic to inspect and checks all the gutters from outside the house and also gets on the roof to check the tiles. He produced a very thorough and detailed report with great photos on both occasions and spent a lot of time answering my questions patiently and explaining everything to me as I am living in Sydney. He identifies even the minutest defects and includes them in his report. His customer service is outstanding and I have no hesitation in recommending him strongly for building inspections. Thanks very much Dudley for the excellent job you did for us.

John was excellent! He really helped us dodge a bullet and was completely honest with us even though we wanted to hear differently. If it wasn’t for him, we’d land up buying something we’d regret for all our lives. 6 months on that lemon of a property is still on the market and the owners continue to not disclose the issues that John was able to identify for us and help with the next house we ended up ultimately buying. Highly recommend him!

I highly recommend this building and pest inspection service. The inspection was completed very quickly and thoroughly, especially considering the short timeframe we had. The inspector was extremely professional, polite and took the time to carefully go through the property. The inspection was quite thorough and highlighted areas of potential concern, as well as maintenance issues that may need to be addressed in the future. The report was very helpful in giving us a clearer understanding of the property and what to keep an eye on moving forward. Really appreciate the professionalism and efficiency highly recommended! Thank you, George for your assistance!

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.

Benefits of Commercial Asbestos Testing

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.

Frequently asked questions

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.
