Finding Commercial Abatement Construction Leads
Abatement contractors — specializing in asbestos abatement, lead paint removal, and hazardous material remediation — serve a market where their services are required on virtually every renovation and demolition project involving buildings constructed before 1980. Finding abatement projects early requires tracking renovation and demolition activity and building relationships with GCs before the abatement subcontract is awarded.
The Best Project Types for Abatement Contractors
Healthcare facility renovation is the most active abatement market. Hospitals and healthcare buildings are constantly being renovated and upgraded, and older facilities often contain significant quantities of asbestos and lead paint. Healthcare abatement requires specific expertise in infection control and working in occupied facilities.
Industrial facility renovation and demolition is a high-value abatement market. Manufacturing plants, power plants, and chemical facilities often contain significant quantities of asbestos insulation and lead paint. Industrial abatement requires specialized expertise in high-temperature insulation systems and industrial coating removal.
School and institutional renovation is a high-volume abatement market. Schools built before 1980 often contain asbestos floor tiles, ceiling tiles, and pipe insulation. School abatement work is often publicly bid, but the abatement contractors who win consistently have pre-bid relationships with the GCs and school districts.
