We work closely with project managers, site owners, insurance assessors, and councils to deliver practical, end-to-end solutions.
Our commercial asbestos demolition service includes:
We understand the logistical challenges of commercial projects and can integrate with broader construction timelines or existing demolition teams where needed.
Asbestos becomes extremely hazardous when disturbed, and demolition activities significantly increase the risk of airborne fibre release.
In commercial environments, this can impact not only site workers but also surrounding properties, public spaces, and the long-term usability of the land.
Under New Zealand regulations, asbestos must be identified and removed by a licensed contractor before demolition can proceed.
Failure to comply can result in:
Old asbestos materials often end up in the soil, especially after legacy demolitions or poor site clean-up. Fragments may be present around building foundations, in accessways, or below slabs and fill. Even if asbestos is professionally removed from the structure, your site may still require testing or clearance before redevelopment begins.

Commercial asbestos demolition requires more than technical capability — it demands precise coordination, strong communication, and the ability to work within strict safety, compliance, and operational frameworks. AR Plus delivers all three, backed by nationally recognised licences and internationally certified systems.
We bring proven experience across a wide range of complex environments, including public buildings, education facilities, multi-unit sites, and ageing infrastructure.
Every site is managed with a safety-first mindset, backed by robust systems, clear documentation, and a professional approach that keeps your project on track from start to finish.
Yes, it’s a legal requirement to remove asbestos material before demolishing a building. Licensed removal of all asbestos-containing materials must occur before any structural demolition begins.
Yes — with careful planning. We have experience working in staged environments such as schools, retail strips, and shared office blocks. We’ll work with your team to minimise disruption.
We do both. AR Plus can coordinate asbestos removal and demolition directly or work in partnership with your appointed demolition contractor.
Absolutely. We prepare required asbestos removal control plans (ARCPs), arrange clearance certificates, and any reporting needed for regulatory compliance.
We offer commercial site testing, provide recommendations for surveying and comprehensive removal of asbestos-contaminated soil. This is common on older sites and should be taken into account when planning redevelopment.
Timeframes vary depending on the project’s size and risk profile. After an initial site visit, we’ll provide a realistic start date and staging timeline to help you plan ahead.
If you’re managing a commercial site with known or suspected asbestos, early planning is key. Our experienced team can assess your building, provide a staged removal and demolition plan, and help you avoid costly surprises later on.
