Natura Architectural Consulting (NAC) has the experience and capability to assess and proactively manage potential lead based paint hazards related to the use, renovation, or demolition of buildings and structures.

Our experience includes scopes of work that are compliant with the requirements of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and various state and local governmental entities.

HUD is proposing a new lead-based paint rule dedicated for further protecting children. The proposed rule would lower the threshold for responding to elevated blood lead levels in children under 6 years old living in HUD-assisted housing. HUD’s regulations require efforts to reduce lead-based paint and other lead hazards, therefore suggesting housing units are evaluated for risks and implementing control measures.

Natura routinely performs lead surveys and monitoring on industrial and commercial structures to facilitate renovations and demolition and also performs lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments on residential structures and/or child occupied facilities.

Our qualified staff maintains professional certification as lead inspectors and risk assessors. We can help you in the preparation of lead-based paint operations and maintenance programs.
