Removal costs vary widely depending on circumstances: the scope of work, risk level, access, amount of waste generated, materials required and timeline are all factors that will dictate the cost of asbestos abatement. Potentially there are also third party consultant costs for air clearances and daily air monitoring when conducing high risk work.
