In British Columbia, 1990 is a significant year. Any building built before then will need to have a Hazardous Material report for any areas that may be disturbed during renovation or demolition.
There are various steps that need to be taken when you have an older building on which an asbestos or lead abatement is required. These steps begin with a hazardous materials survey report to provide asbestos and/or lead testing. Based on the report results, the work can range from targeted removal to complete asbestos or lead abatement.
