Just located a bunch of bandos that are staged for redevelopment. But upon initial inspection, the places are dusty af and asbestos both fine and solid is also visible all over floor, out of walls and roof. I don't know if P2 masks are adequate, respirators seem expensive at $100+. Any advice?

A well fitting P2 or N95 with an outlet valve is great if you keep material disturbance at an absolute minimum...
If there's considerable particulate in the air I would not recommend being in that environment for very long at all.
Otherwise, with a good mask you should be okay.
And remember to dust off your shoes and pants as you leave with you mask still on. Wet grass works great!

Thank you, will probably check some masks out at bunnings when lockdown ends .
