Asbestos, Lead, Mold Project Management and Oversight Services

Overview

Managing environmental hazards like asbestos, lead, and mold is a complex process that requires more than just detection or removal—it demands planning, regulatory navigation, documentation, and experienced oversight. Whether you’re a contractor, building owner, or public agency, APEX Environmental Solutions provides turnkey project management and oversight services to ensure your environmental remediation projects are completed safely, legally, and efficiently. From start to finish, we serve as your trusted partner, safeguarding health while protecting your timeline and budget.

Service Description

Environmental remediation is highly regulated, often involving overlapping federal, state, and local rules. Projects that involve asbestos abatement, lead paint removal, or mold remediation must be handled with extreme care to protect human health and minimize liability. APEX provides third-party project management and site oversight to ensure environmental hazards are addressed the right way—on time, on budget, and in full compliance.

What We Manage

APEX acts as your dedicated environmental representative for projects involving:

• Asbestos abatement in schools, hospitals, commercial buildings, and homes
• Lead-based paint removal in public housing, childcare centers, and historic structures
• Mold remediation in buildings affected by water damage or poor air quality

We work with building owners, architects, contractors, public agencies, and developers during any phase of a project—planning, bidding, execution, or closeout.

Project Management Services

1. Scope Development and Budgeting

Our team reviews inspection reports and site conditions to define the scope of environmental work required. We estimate material quantities, containment areas, disposal needs, labor hours, and timelines. We also help establish realistic project budgets, funding options (grants or public assistance), and contingency plans.

2. Bid Specification and Contractor Selection

We prepare detailed bid documents, including:

• Technical specifications (based on applicable regulations)
• Required contractor qualifications and certifications
• Performance and safety expectations
• Site-specific procedures

We assist in the contractor prequalification process, bid review, interviews, and award decisions—ensuring that only capable, experienced remediation firms are selected.

3. Regulatory Coordination and Permitting

APEX manages all required notifications, permit applications, and regulatory correspondence on your behalf. We serve as a liaison with agencies such as:

• State environmental protection departments
• EPA and HUD
• Local building departments
• Health and air quality agencies

We also verify that all contractor licensing, insurance, and certifications are current and compliant.

4. Site Oversight and Quality Assurance

Once work begins, APEX provides on-site oversight and daily reporting. We monitor:

• Containment setup and effectiveness
• PPE usage and worker safety compliance
• Work area integrity (e.g., negative air pressure, HEPA filtration)
• Proper handling, packaging, and transport of hazardous materials
• Daily progress toward milestones

Our environmental professionals conduct air monitoring (when required), perform visual inspections, and provide immediate feedback to contractors to avoid delays or errors.

5. Documentation and Close-Out

At the end of the project, APEX compiles:

• Daily field logs
• Contractor compliance checklists
• Waste manifests
• Clearance test results
• Before-and-after photos
• Regulatory correspondence
• Final certification of project completion

Specialized Services

• Emergency Response Oversight: For sudden water damage, fire recovery, or environmental spills
