A legal step, not an optional one

Skipping the survey is the expensive mistake

Discovering asbestos mid-demolition, without a prior survey, stops the job cold until it is properly assessed, which almost always costs more time and money than doing the survey up front. We coordinate the survey and any required abatement on a timeline that fits your demolition schedule instead of becoming a separate, disconnected step.

Before the crew arrives

Coordinated with your demolition timeline

We work with your demolition contractor’s schedule directly, so the survey and any required abatement happen as one coordinated step, not a separate delay.

Asbestos Removal Before Demolition Ottawa FAQs

Do I legally need this before demolishing a building in Ottawa?

In most cases, yes. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires a designated substance survey before demolition work on a building that may contain asbestos, particularly buildings built before 1990.

Will this delay my demolition schedule?

We coordinate timing with your demolition contractor so the survey and any required abatement fit your overall project schedule rather than becoming a separate, disconnected step.

What happens if asbestos is found during demolition without a prior survey?

Work has to stop until the material is properly assessed and handled, which typically causes far more delay and cost than doing the survey up front.
