For more than 13 years, we’ve helped homeowners, contractors, property managers, and public organizations navigate asbestos, mould, and hazardous materials requirements with clarity and confidence.
About AREC Environmental Group
Service first, always
Our work often starts when people are under pressure – a renovation deadline, an inspection requirement, a surprise discovery mid‑project, or a concern about health and safety at home. We know these situations can feel stressful and confusing. That’s why our approach is simple: listen carefully, communicate clearly, and guide you through the process step by step.
We’re not just here to produce a report. We’re here to help you understand what it means and what to do next – whether that’s planning safe renovations, managing hazards on an active jobsite, or making sure your building is safe to re‑occupy.
Experience you can rely on
Our team brings over 50 years of combined experience in environmental health, safety consulting, and construction-related hazard management.
When you hire AREC, you get the strength of our whole team behind your project, not just one person on site. That depth of knowledge means we know what to look for, how to interpret what we find, and how to provide practical, realistic solutions that work in the field – not just on paper.
What we do
AREC provides a full suite of hazardous materials and indoor environmental services, including:
- Hazardous materials surveys for renovation and demolition planning
- Asbestos inventories and management support
- Abatement consulting and third‑party site support
- Occupational and clearance air monitoring
- Mould and moisture assessments
- In‑house laboratory analysis and WorkSafeBC‑approved training
Our commitment
We measure success by how supported our clients feel, not just by what we deliver. You can expect timely communication, straightforward explanations, and a team that stays engaged from the first call to the final clearance. Our priority is keeping you, your occupants, and your workers safe – while making the path forward as smooth as possible.
