Hawke's Bay's Only Asbestos Specialist: Why Choose Us?

At Asbestos Safe Consultancy, we believe that when it comes to something as critical as asbestos, true independence isn't just a buzzword – it's a cornerstone of reliable service. In Hawke's Bay, the landscape of asbestos services can be complex. Many providers offer a range of services that can inadvertently create conflicts of interest, potentially compromising the integrity of their advice.

For instance, businesses that perform both asbestos removal and consultancy might face a subtle pressure to recommend removal even when less invasive, equally safe solutions exist. This often means property owners could be advised towards more costly and disruptive solutions than are truly necessary. Similarly, building consultants who dabble in asbestos services on the side may not possess the singular, deep expertise required for comprehensive and compliant asbestos management, potentially overlooking critical details.

The potential for conflicts of interest in the asbestos industry is a genuine concern. When a company profits from both identifying a problem and then solving it through physical removal, their recommendations can, consciously or unconsciously, be skewed. This situation can lead to:

• Unnecessary Removal Recommendations: Suggesting removal when encapsulation, repair, or ongoing management would be equally safe and more cost-effective.

• Inflated Project Scopes: Recommending a larger scope of work than what is genuinely required, increasing costs and disruption.

• Compromised Advice: Prioritising their own business interests over the client's best, most compliant, and safest solution.

Our commitment to independence completely eliminates these inherent pressures, ensuring our advice is always impartial and solely focused on your safety and compliance.

We've deliberately structured our business to avoid these common pitfalls. Our commitment to being a consultancy-only firm means:

• No Asbestos Removal: We never bid on or undertake asbestos removal work. This ensures our recommendations for management or remediation are purely based on safety and compliance, not on generating additional business for ourselves. Our only objective is to provide you with the most appropriate and safest course of action.

• No Building Inspections: Our expertise is laser-focused on asbestos. We don't dilute our specialisation with broader building consultancy, guaranteeing that our knowledge of asbestos regulations, identification, and management is second to none. This singular focus allows us to stay at the forefront of asbestos science and legislation.

• Zero Conflicts of Interest: This singular focus allows us to provide truly unbiased advice. You can trust that our guidance on asbestos identification, testing, surveys, management plans, air monitoring, and clearance inspections is always in your best interest, free from any competing commercial motivations.

This dedication to a consultancy-only model means we are solely invested in providing you with accurate, compliant, and trustworthy asbestos advice. Whether you're a homeowner safeguarding your family, a property manager ensuring tenant safety, a tradie needing pre-work assessments, or a school or business upholding health and safety standards, our independent approach guarantees peace of mind.
