ASBESTOS SURVEYS
Management Surveys
At SC Environmental, we specialise in delivering comprehensive asbestos management surveys tailored to the needs of building owners and occupiers across New Zealand. Our surveys comply with the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016 and are conducted by certified professionals with expertise in identifying asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in residential, commercial, and industrial properties. We begin with a thorough inspection, utilizing advanced techniques to locate asbestos in roofs, walls, insulation, and other building components, followed by detailed sampling and laboratory analysis. This ensures accurate identification and risk assessment, providing you with a clear understanding of any asbestos present and its condition, which is critical for maintaining a safe environment.
Our asbestos management surveys go beyond identification, offering actionable insights to help you meet your legal obligations under New Zealand law. We provide a detailed report that includes an asbestos register, risk assessments, and a management plan tailored to your property, whether it’s an office in Auckland, a school in Wellington, or a factory in Christchurch. SC Environmental works closely with building owners and occupiers to prioritise remediation or ongoing monitoring, ensuring compliance with WorkSafe NZ guidelines and minimising health risks such as asbestos related diseases. Our team is committed to delivering practical solutions, from minor repairs to full removal, with a focus on safety and cost-effectiveness.
As a trusted partner in New Zealand, SC Environmental offers ongoing support to keep your asbestos management up to date, including regular re-inspections and updates to your management plan as required by law. Our services are designed to protect occupants, workers, and visitors while supporting property development or refurbishment projects. With our local knowledge of New Zealand’s building stock—many of which contain asbestos from pre-1990s construction—we ensure that every survey is thorough and compliant, giving you peace of mind and a safer building environment. Contact us today to schedule a survey and safeguard your property.

Refurbishment Surveys
When planning any refurbishment or renovation work, one of the most critical steps you must take is determining whether there is any asbestos present in the area before starting. Asbestos, if disturbed during construction or renovation, can release harmful fibers into the air, posing serious health risks to workers and anyone nearby.
We offer Refurbishment Surveys to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in the areas you plan to work on. This type of survey is more intrusive than a general management survey because it involves a thorough investigation of all potentially hidden asbestos within walls, floors, ceilings, and other structural elements that could be disturbed during refurbishment.
Should asbestos be found during the survey, we don’t just leave you with the information—we provide a full Project Management service to safely oversee the removal process. We work with skilled and trusted removalists to ensure that every step of the process is carried out according to WorkSafe New Zealand regulations.
Our team will keep you fully informed throughout the entire process, from the initial survey to the final clearance inspection, ensuring that all asbestos has been properly removed and that the site is safe for further work. One-on-one communication is a priority for us; we are committed to providing you with timely updates, answering your questions, and addressing any concerns you may have as the project progresses.
Whether you're working on a residential, commercial, or industrial property, you can count on SC Environmental to provide not just expert asbestos surveys, but also peace of mind through reliable management of the entire asbestos removal process.
By ensuring that your site is asbestos-free before your renovation begins, you’re safeguarding the health of everyone involved and ensuring that your project runs smoothly and safely from start to finish.

Demolition Survey
If you are planning to demolish a building or structure that was built or modified before 1st January 2000, you are legally required to identify any asbestos or asbestos-containing materials (ACM) present on the site before demolition begins. Asbestos was commonly used in building materials prior to this date, and if disturbed during demolition, it can release dangerous fibers that pose significant health risks to workers and the surrounding environment.
We specialise in conducting Demolition Surveys, which are designed to thoroughly investigate all areas of the building or structure to locate any asbestos or ACM. These surveys are far more intrusive than management surveys, as they require accessing all parts of the building, including areas that are hidden or difficult to reach, to ensure that no asbestos-containing materials are missed. Our detailed surveys are critical to preventing unexpected asbestos exposure during demolition, ensuring compliance with WorkSafe New Zealand regulations, and safeguarding the health of everyone involved in the project.
Once asbestos has been identified through the Demolition Survey, we don’t just stop there. Our team can also Project Manage the entire asbestos removal process, working closely with licensed removalists to ensure that all hazardous materials are safely and efficiently removed from the site before demolition proceeds. We provide you with full oversight and coordination, keeping you informed at every stage of the project to ensure everything runs smoothly and in line with legal and safety standards.
Our Project Management services include:
- Comprehensive communication keeping you updated throughout the process.
- Ensuring that asbestos removal is carried out by trusted, licensed professionals in accordance with all regulatory requirements.
- A Clearance Certificate upon the successful removal of all asbestos, confirming the area is safe for demolition to proceed.
Demolishing a building is a complex process, and dealing with asbestos makes it even more crucial to work with professionals who understand the risks and legal obligations. With over 25 years of experience, SC Environmental has the expertise to manage every aspect of asbestos identification and removal, giving you peace of mind that your project will proceed safely, legally, and without unnecessary delays.
Don’t take risks when it comes to asbestos—ensure your demolition is asbestos-free with our expert support.
