If you plan to renovate or demolish a structure or building and LBP (Lead-Based Paint ) has been determined to be present, a plan for controlling the lead hazard must be developed. When we look at a Lead-Based Paint Abatement Design many thinga are taken into consideration including and certainly not limited to:

Indoor Air Quality Remediation Planning

Permitting Assistance

Plans and Specifications

More technically, lead-based paint abatement design services usually consist of three components:

Design Development Phase

This phase includes conferences with the Client and the Client's architect and construction manager if applicable, after which the consultant analyzes the project requirements. The site and building are carefully studied along with any renovation documents, project phasing and completion schedule, occupancy requirements, specific operational requirements of the Client, and regulations having jurisdiction over the project.

From this information, preliminary design consisting of drawings and other documents which illustrate the project's extent, procedures, phasing, testing, safety precautions, monitoring, and documentation are prepared.

Abatement Documents Phase

The abatement documents phase includes the preparation of drawings and specifications, based on the approved preliminary design, which describe in technical detail the documentation, abatement, monitoring and testing procedures, and other contract work required. Bidding documents are prepared, including proposal, bonding, insurance and contract forms. A cost estimate is submitted for the abatement work.

Bidding Phase

The bidding phase includes the reproduction of bidding documents for distribution to bidders and assisting the Client in qualifying prospective bidders, obtaining and evaluating bids, and awarding abatement contracts. Administration of the bidding, including issuance of addenda, attendance at a pre-bid conference, and preparation and issuance of minutes are part of this phase.
