Project Management

Expert project oversight for asbestos removal, delivering peace of mind through independent coordination and compliance.

Asbestos Removal Made Safe, Easy & Compliant

If your property contains asbestos — especially after damage, renovation, or fire — the law requires it to be removed by a licensed professional under strict guidelines.

We manage asbestos removal in:

  • Residential homes and investment properties

  • Commercial buildings and workplaces

  • Fire-damaged or storm-affected sites

  • Council, school, and government buildings

  • Pre-demolition and major renovation projects

Whether it's friable or bonded, we help you get it removed properly — and cleared for reoccupation or development.

What’s Included in Our Asbestos Removal Management

We provide end-to-end coordination, so you don’t have to chase contractors or worry about paperwork.

1. Site Inspection & Risk Assessment

Every asbestos removal project starts with a thorough site inspection by a licensed asbestos assessor. We identify the presence and condition of asbestos materials — whether bonded or friable — and assess the associated risks. Where needed, we take samples for analysis at a NATA-accredited laboratory to confirm material types. If you’ve had a house fire, storm damage, or an unexpected asbestos find, we respond quickly to assess the risk and recommend the safest, most compliant next steps in line with SafeWork NSW requirements.

2. Planning & Documentation

We prepare or review the legally required Asbestos Removal Control Plan (ARCP) to ensure your project complies with WHS laws. This includes managing any required notifications to SafeWork NSW, coordinating air monitoring and clearance inspections, and advising you on key safety measures like PPE, work zone isolation, and containment. We also make sure you’re covered from a compliance perspective — assisting with documentation required by councils, certifiers, or project managers.

3. Contractor Engagement & On-Site Oversight

Once the plan is in place, we select and engage a trusted, licensed Class A or B asbestos removal contractor that’s right for the job. We stay involved on-site throughout the process to ensure that work follows the agreed plan, all safety controls are in place, and removal methods meet the required standard. We also manage air monitoring, fibre counting, and post-removal clearance to ensure every box is ticked. Importantly, we’re independent — we advocate for you, not the contractor.

4. Clearance & Reporting

At the end of the project, we organise the final clearance inspection by a licensed assessor and provide a clearance certificate for submission to SafeWork NSW, council, or your builder. You’ll also receive complete documentation including waste tracking, disposal dockets, and chain of custody forms. If your site requires future WHS compliance inspections or rechecks, we can help there too. The end result is a full asbestos removal completion pack — ready for handover, approval, or sale.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Asbestos Removal Project Management

Q: Do you carry out the asbestos removal yourself?

No — we do not perform the physical removal of asbestos. Instead, we provide independent project management by:

  • Engaging a licensed Class A or B asbestos removal contractor

  • Overseeing removal to ensure it follows all legal and safety requirements

  • Coordinating air monitoring and clearance inspections

  • Managing the entire process from risk assessment to final certification

This means we work for you, not the contractor — ensuring transparency, compliance, and peace of mind.

Q: What’s the first step if I need asbestos removed?

Start with an asbestos inspection by a licensed assessor (like us). We’ll:

  1. Identify the type and condition of asbestos

  2. Recommend whether it needs removal, encapsulation, or management

  3. Scope the job and engage the right removal team

  4. Manage legal requirements and documentation (e.g. ARCP, notifications)

In some cases (e.g. fire damage or site works), we can mobilise quickly for urgent situations.

Q: Who needs an Asbestos Removal Control Plan (ARCP)?

An ARCP is required for all licensed asbestos removal work in NSW — especially for:

  • Friable (Class A) asbestos

  • Bonded (Class B) asbestos over 10 m²

  • Any removal on a construction or commercial site

We can review or prepare your ARCP to ensure it meets the WHS Regulation 2017 and SafeWork NSW Code of Practice requirements.

Q: How long does asbestos removal take?

It depends on:

  • The type of asbestos (friable or bonded)

  • The size and complexity of the site

  • Whether air monitoring and clearance inspections are needed

  • Access, weather, and other site conditions

Most removals are completed in 1–3 days, but we’ll provide a clear schedule and fixed-fee quote as part of our project scope.

Q: What do I need for a clearance certificate after asbestos removal?

To receive a legal clearance certificate, you must have:

  • Final air monitoring results showing fibre levels below limits (if required)

  • A site inspection by a licensed asbestos assessor

  • Confirmation that no visible asbestos remains

  • Documentation of waste disposal and contractor sign-off

We manage this process on your behalf — and provide all paperwork required for SafeWork NSW, council, builders, or certifiers.
