Asbestos-containing materials (ACM), including floor tile, fireproofing and wallboard systems, were completely abated from this site prior to reconstruction and buildout. When you are considering renovation or demolition, Ellis will (1) survey the building to identify existing asbestos materials; (2) prepare contract documents for the removal of identified asbestos; (3) procure bids from reputable contractors; (4) manage, inspect, and provide final clearance for the abatement project.

Testing for and removal of asbestos is regulated under 40 CFR Part 763 (AHERA), Cal-OSHA and the Air Quality Management District. Ellis maintains a staff of Cal-OSHA certified asbestos consultants, EPA registered building inspectors and site surveillance technicians to manage and perform asbestos surveys and abatement projects.

 

Since 1994, Ellis has administered approximately $62 million in asbestos abatement projects. Ellis maintains a professional working relationship with a number of local and reputable abatement contractors in California, each of whom depend on a strong working relationship with Ellis and its clients for continued success. This alone helps to reduce or eliminate unnecessary requests for additions to the contract sum during each new project.

 

In some cases, there is not time to procure competitive bids. In such cases, Ellis will on your behalf negotiate a reasonable fee for the work with a single trusted contractor.
