Services
Renovations, demolitions, property transactions, and compliance questions often raise the same problem: you need to know what hazardous materials are present before you can plan a safe, compliant path forward. LBP Solutions provides environmental consulting and hazardous building material surveys that identify those materials, document conditions, and translate the requirements into clear next steps.
We’re a full-service environmental inspection and consulting firm based in Providence, serving property owners, contractors, developers, property managers, and institutions throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Our role is to give you accurate, independent information — what’s there, what it means, and what the regulations ask of you — without fearmongering or guaranteed outcomes.
Consulting & survey services we provide
From a single-building survey to ongoing guidance across a portfolio, we scale to the project in front of you.
Who needs environmental consulting?
Property owners & buyers — due diligence and a clear picture of what a building contains.
Contractors & developers — surveys and guidance to scope renovation and demolition work correctly.
Property managers — ongoing support across multifamily and commercial portfolios.
Institutions & municipalities — documented surveys and compliance guidance for public and institutional buildings.
What a survey or consultation helps with
Identifying hazardous building materials before a project begins
Documenting conditions for due diligence or transactions
Dust, water, and soil sampling results
Understanding which regulations apply to your situation
Scoping renovation or demolition work safely
Clear, documented next steps you can act on
Why work with an independent consultant
Good decisions start with accurate information. Because LBP Solutions inspects, surveys, and advises — but doesn’t perform abatement or remediation — our findings and guidance aren’t tied to selling you removal work. With decades of experience across residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional properties, we help you understand what you’re dealing with, what regulations may apply, and what steps are needed to move forward safely and efficiently.

Lead paint inspection FAQs
What is a hazardous building material survey?
It’s a survey that identifies hazardous building materials — such as lead-based paint and asbestos-containing materials — present in a property, with documented findings. It’s commonly used before renovation or demolition, during property transactions, and for compliance purposes.
What kinds of sampling do you offer?
We offer dust, water, and soil sampling with laboratory coordination, alongside the lead and asbestos sampling that supports our inspections and surveys. We’ll recommend the sampling that actually answers your question.
Do you help with regulatory compliance?
Yes. We provide plain-English guidance on how federal, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts requirements apply to your property and project, and what steps come next. We’re a consulting and inspection firm — for legal interpretation, we’d recommend confirming with the relevant agency or your attorney.
Do you perform abatement or remediation?
No. We’re an independent inspection, survey, and consulting firm. Keeping our work separate from removal means our findings and recommendations stay objective.
Do you serve both Rhode Island and Massachusetts?
Yes. We’re based in Providence and serve clients across Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts and surrounding communities.
Can you help Spanish-speaking clients?
Yes — se habla español. We can assist Spanish-speaking clients with their asbestos inspection and testing needs.
How quickly can a survey be scheduled?
Scheduling depends on your project scope, location, and timeline. Because response time matters to us, we work to schedule promptly — reach out and we’ll find the soonest fit.
