Renovating or demolishing a building built before 1981? Read This First!

Planning ahead prevents shutdowns, delays, and costly surprises.

If you’re renovating, remodeling, or demolishing a building — especially one built before 1981 — environmental inspections may be required before work can begin. Many building materials installed decades ago can contain asbestos, lead-based paint, mercury, or other regulated substances.

The problem is most inspections are only scheduled after a contractor has already started work and the project is forced to stop.

We see this every week. With proper planning, this situation is completely avoidable.

You likely need an inspection if you are:

✔ Renovating walls, ceilings, or flooring
✔ Demolishing part or all of a structure
✔ Disturbing older building materials
✔ Applying for renovation or demolition permits
✔ Hiring contractors for major interior work
✔ Managing a commercial or municipal project
✔ Purchasing or redeveloping an older property

If you’re unsure, a quick consultation can clarify what’s required.

What happens during an inspection

HazCorp conducts professional surveys designed to identify regulated materials while minimizing disruption. Our reports are clear, defensible, and accepted by contractors, municipalities, and regulatory agencies.

We focus on:

  • Accurate identification

  • Efficient sampling

  • Clear documentation

  • Practical guidance

  • Fast communication

Our goal is to help your project move forward safely and confidently.

Why inspections matter before construction starts

Environmental regulations are designed to protect workers, occupants, and the public. When regulated materials are disturbed without proper identification, projects can be halted immediately until inspections are completed.

This can lead to:

  • Construction shutdowns

  • Permit delays

  • Contractor rescheduling fees

  • Increased project costs

  • Extended timelines

  • Liability exposure

Scheduling inspections early ensures your project moves forward without interruption.

Recommended inspection timeline

To avoid delays, inspections should be scheduled before construction is finalized.

Ideal timing:

  • 2–4 weeks before renovation or demolition

  • Before permits are submitted

  • Before contractors are mobilized

  • During early project planning

Waiting until work has already begun compresses timelines and limits options.

Planning early gives you control.
