This type of survey is used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practicable, all Asbestos Containing Materials to specific areas where the refurbishment work will take place or in the whole building if demolition is planned.
The survey will be fully intrusive and involve destructive inspection, as necessary, to gain access to all areas, including those that may be difficult to reach. Refurbishment and Demolition surveys may also be required in other circumstances, e.g. when more intrusive maintenance and repair work will be carried out or for plant removal or dismantling.
The report provided will include:
Property/building address
Type of survey undertaken
Areas included in the survey
Location(s) of the ACMs (building identifier, floor number, room identifier and position within room/space)
Likelihood/extent of accessibility/vulnerability
Level of identification (confirmed, strongly presumed, presumed)
