Request advice on hazardous substances in buildings
Building contaminants pose significant challenges in terms of health and safety, environmental sustainability and waste management. DMT supports clients throughout Germany and internationally in the professional investigation, assessment and remediation of contaminants in existing buildings, as well as in the planning and supervision of demolition works.
Our interdisciplinary teams oversee projects from the initial investigation of contaminants, through planning for planning permission and construction, to providing expert supervision of remediation and demolition works throughout the entire life cycle. In doing so, we combine decades of experience with technical expertise, clear processes and the highest standards of safety, quality and sustainability.
We identify and assess hazardous substances in buildings through targeted sampling and analysis carried out in accredited laboratories. Among other things, we investigate:
Based on the results of the investigations, we assess risks relating to health and safety at work, demolition and disposal. The results provide a sound basis for cost estimates, scheduling and tendering.
We provide support with the preparation and submission of applications for demolition and dismantling, as well as with liaising with the authorities and other stakeholders. The aim is to ensure that the project is implemented in a legally compliant and efficient manner.
We develop bespoke refurbishment, demolition and waste disposal plans for buildings of varying uses and complexity. Our services include:
We provide comprehensive advice on legal requirements, health and safety measures and sustainable waste disposal methods. Through early-stage planning, we help to minimise risks, use resources efficiently and manage project costs transparently.
During the project, we supervise refurbishment, demolition and waste disposal work and ensure compliance with technical, legal and safety-related requirements.
Our services include:
Through our ongoing support, we ensure transparency, minimise project risks and help ensure the project is delivered cost-effectively.
Our experts possess comprehensive specialist knowledge in accordance with:
These qualifications form the basis for the safe planning and supervision of measures involving hazardous building contaminants and enable implementation in accordance with current statutory requirements and relevant standards.
We provide the basis for decision-making, minimise risks, support compliance with legal requirements and oversee projects from the initial assessment right through to successful completion.

Among other things, DMT tests for asbestos, man-made mineral fibres (MMFs), PCBs, PAHs and other pollutants in buildings and technical installations that pose a risk to health and the environment.
A contamination survey identifies potential hazards at an early stage and lays the foundations for health and safety measures, waste disposal plans, tendering processes and reliable cost estimates.
Yes. DMT assists with the preparation and submission of the necessary applications and supports coordination with the authorities and other project stakeholders.
Expert supervision ensures that refurbishment and demolition work is carried out in accordance with statutory, technical and safety requirements. At the same time, quality, costs and deadlines are monitored.
The most important sets of regulations include DGUV Regulation 101-004 and the Technical Regulations on Hazardous Substances (TRGS), in particular TRGS 519 on asbestos and TRGS 521 on old mineral wool. These regulations are designed to protect employees, the environment and the general public
