Asbestos is a lightning rod for litigation--and has become a serious liability to investors in commercial property transactions.

During the due diligence process, purchasers and lenders must learn if any materials in a given facility contain asbestos, whether prior asbestos abatement has been performed correctly, with appropriate documentation, and what any additional abatement costs will be.

GaiaTech offers a wide range of asbestos consulting services, including:

• Visual surveys to identify and quantify materials suspected to contain asbestos
• Reviewing documentation to assess asbestos-related liabilities based on past
   building management practices
• Detailed building surveys to identify and quantify asbestos-containing materials
• Preparing Operations and Maintenance (O&M) plans

GaiaTech has professionals who hold various EPA and state certifications for asbestos consulting, and we are well qualified to address concerns related to materials containing asbestos. We can determine whether materials containing asbestos can be safely managed by implementing an O&M plan, and can identify potential liabilities to tenants, maintenance staff, and/or contractor personnel as a result of asbestos in the building.
