Strata & body corporate

Manage asbestos across the common property

Roofs, eaves, plant rooms, shared laundries and service risers in older strata buildings commonly contain asbestos. The body corporate is responsible for the common property — which means knowing where it is and managing it properly.

Why strata needs a managed approach

Strata buildings have a steady stream of contractors working on common property — roof repairs, plumbing, electrical, painting. Without a register and plan, any one of them can disturb asbestos unknowingly. An assessment maps it across the shared areas, a management plan keeps it documented for the committee and every contractor who attends, and removal handles anything that needs to go during works.
