An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of a building or property to identify any ACMs that may be present in it. The survey is carried out by a qualified and experienced asbestos surveyor, who will collect samples of any suspect materials and analyse them in a laboratory to determine their asbestos content. The surveyor will then produce a report that details the locations and conditions of any ACMs, and classify them according to their type, condition and risk.

There are two main types of asbestos surveys: management surveys and refurbishment/demolition surveys. A management survey is designed to locate ACMs that may be disturbed during normal occupancy or maintenance of a building, and to assess their condition and risk. A refurbishment/demolition survey is more intrusive and aims to identify all ACMs that may be disturbed during a refurbishment or demolition project.
