The notification is a retype
The survey already says the quantities, the homogeneous areas, and the material. Somebody still types it into the state form by hand — and amends it every time the start date slips.
Asbestos · Lead · Mold abatement
Every abatement job is two jobs. Timber does the paper one.
The containment goes up either way. What kills your margin is the notification nobody filed, the refresher that expired on Tuesday, and the closeout binder the GC wants before he releases retainage. Timber reads the survey, prices the scope, watches the certs, and assembles the package.

Why this desk
Why abatement money dies in the file cabinet.
You are not competing on who scrapes faster. You are competing on who can prove it was done right, on the day the owner asks.
An expired refresher shuts the job
Accreditation, annual refresher, medical surveillance, fit test. One lapsed card on site is a stop-work order and a fine, and it lives in a spreadsheet nobody opened this month.
Daily logs are loose paper
Pressure readings, HEPA runtime, decon entries, who was in the enclosure. It is a clipboard until an inspector asks, and then it is a bad afternoon.
Retainage waits on a binder
Manifests with the landfill signature back, clearance results, sign-in sheets, disposal records. The work finished in April. You get paid when the binder is done.
The method
How Timber runs it.
01
Read the survey
Drop in the hazmat survey or inspection report. Timber pulls the homogeneous areas, material types, and quantities it can read, then asks you the things the report never says: access, occupancy, shift, negative air, disposal site.
- Quantities by homogeneous area
- Friable vs non-friable fork
- Occupied building and shift questions
02
Price the scope
Containment, negative air, labor by the crew-day, encapsulant, disposal at your tipping rate, third-party clearance. Mobilization and per-diem sit as their own lines instead of getting buried in labor.
- Containment and setup as real lines
- Disposal at your landfill rate
- Hygienist and clearance carried through
03
Run the compliance trail
The notification drafts from the scope you just priced. Certs get checked against the crew you assigned. Daily logs come in by text from the foreman. The closeout package builds itself as the documents arrive.
- Notification and amendment drafts
- Cert expiry before the assignment
- Closeout binder, always current
On the board
What sits on an abatement board.
Same operator for a single-room lead job and a full-floor asbestos strip-out on nights.
Asbestos — Class I & II
- Survey quantities into a priced scope
- Notification drafted, amendments tracked
- Negative air and pressure logs on the job
- Waste records chased until the signature returns
Lead abatement / RRP
- Component counts from the risk assessment
- Firm and renovator certification on file
- Occupant notification drafts
- Clearance wipes tracked to a result
Mold remediation
- Moisture mapping and photos on the job
- Containment and HEPA scope priced
- Post-remediation verification as a gate
- The insurer-facing report, not just an invoice
Emergency and unforeseen
- Hidden material found mid-demo
- Change order drafted the same hour
- Crew pulled and rescheduled from chat
- The GC gets a written position, fast
From inbound to close
A survey PDF in. A priced scope and a filed trail out.
Timber does not sign your notification and it does not clear your containment. It removes the four hours of retyping between the survey landing in your inbox and a defensible number going back to the GC.
- Read the survey and ask what the report leaves out
- Price containment, labor, disposal and clearance off your book
- You edit the scope — it never sends on its own
- Notification, logs, manifests and clearance collect into one package
On the desk
What the operator actually does.
Survey to scope
Quantities, materials and areas come off the report you were sent. What the report cannot tell you becomes a question, not an assumption.
Certification watch
Accreditation, refresher dates, medical surveillance and fit tests sit on the worker. Timber flags the lapse before you put that name on a containment.
Notification drafts
The scope you priced becomes the notification draft, including the amendment when a start date moves. You review and file.
Foreman by text
Pressure readings, HEPA hours, headcount and photos come in by SMS or WhatsApp. No app for a crew that changes every season.
Closeout that assembles itself
Manifests, clearance results, sign-in sheets and logs collect under the job as they arrive. When the owner asks for the package, it exists.
Job costing after the containment drops
Crew-days, disposal weight and rental against the bid. You find out which scopes you underpriced while you can still fix the next one.
The regulator is your real customer.
Abatement is the rare trade where doing the work well is not enough to get paid. The scrape, the bag and the wipe are the easy part. Getting paid means a notification filed on time, a crew whose cards were all current on the day they entered, waste that can be traced to a landfill signature, and an air clearance from a third party who does not work for you.
Most abatement contractors run that on a shared drive, a whiteboard, and one person who knows where everything is. It works until that person is on vacation and a start date moves, or until an inspector walks a job and asks for last Tuesday's pressure log.
Timber sits between the survey and the binder. It reads the report you were sent, prices the scope against your book, drafts the paperwork the scope implies, and keeps every log and manifest attached to the job that produced it. Your supervisor still signs. Your hygienist still clears. Nothing files itself in your name.
Still yours
What stays human.
01
Filing and signing
Timber drafts the notification and flags the deadline. A licensed human reviews and submits. We will not put your license behind an autonomous filing.
02
Clearance and air monitoring
A third-party hygienist clears the area. Timber tracks the sample, chases the result, and files it — it does not produce one.
03
Who enters the enclosure
Timber tells you whose card expires Friday. You still decide who works. Checkpoints undo a bad assignment.

FAQ
Common questions
Still deciding? Book a demo and we'll walk through your workflow live.
Contact our teamDoes Timber file my notifications?
No. It drafts them from the scope you priced, tells you the deadline, and drafts the amendment when a date moves. A licensed person on your staff reviews and submits.
Can it read a hazmat survey PDF?
It reads what the report states — homogeneous areas, materials, quantities — and asks you for what surveys routinely omit, like access, occupancy and disposal site. It will not invent a quantity that is not in the document.
How does cert tracking work?
Accreditation, refresher, medical and fit-test dates sit on each worker. When you assign a crew, Timber checks them and flags anything expiring before the job ends.
Will my crews need an app?
No. Foremen send readings, headcount and photos by SMS or WhatsApp. Timber logs them against the job.
Does it handle waste manifests?
It keeps the shipment record on the job and chases the signed copy back from the landfill. It does not sign as generator — that is yours.
We work in several states with different forms.
Put each state's requirements in a skill. Timber asks the questions that state's form needs instead of assuming a single federal template.
