Asbestos surveys in Brisbane: what to know

If you own a property in Brisbane, at some stage you may need an asbestos survey. Asbestos-containing materials are among the most hazardous components still found in Australian buildings, and identifying them early is the key to managing them safely.

1

What an asbestos survey is

An asbestos survey (also called an asbestos audit) is a detailed assessment by a professional to identify asbestos-containing materials in a building, recording what's present and its condition. Any building constructed before 1990 is at risk of containing asbestos and may need one — particularly before renovation or demolition.

Why it matters in Brisbane

Brisbane's large stock of older homes and commercial buildings means asbestos is still widespread. A survey gives you a clear record before you renovate, buy, sell or manage a property — so you're making decisions with the full picture rather than discovering asbestos mid-project.

How we do it

We assess the whole property and screen suspect materials on-site with our mobile microPHAZIR analyzer for a fast result, with NATA-accredited lab confirmation and a certificate of analysis where a formal record is needed. You get a clear, documented outcome you can rely on.
