A proper asbestos inspection of a shared building covers every accessible area, including plant rooms, roof spaces and car parks, not just the common walkways. It grades the condition of each material, separates common property from individual lots, and ends with a report your committee can act on. In Queensland, a person with management or control of a workplace must keep an asbestos register at the workplace and review it at least every five years. Getting the inspection right the first time costs less than redoing it after a contractor disturbs something nobody flagged.
Buying a property is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. In Queensland, where many homes were built before asbestos restrictions took effect, it’s also a time to exercise caution.
