“It is estimated that managing asbestos accounts for 10% of the cost of demolition and as much as 5% of spend on refurbishment projects is allocated to the identification, removal and reporting asbestos containing materials,” says the booklet’s author, Paul Clarke-Scholes, “Our brochure contains a number of tips and trade secrets to enable those involved in pricing and procuring asbestos works to minimise the spend without compromising the safety of those involved.”
Since 1999 it has been illegal to use asbestos containing materials (ACMs) in construction or refurbishment. However the potentially hazardous substance was used extensively as a building material in Great Britain from the 1950s through to the mid-1980s and much of it is still in place.
As many as 2.4 million homes and as much as 75% of commercial, industrial and municipal buildings still contain some asbestos containing materials so demolition or refurbishment projects will continue to involve management of asbestos for the foreseeable future.
