Planning Your Demolition:

​

Before you can start the demolition process you will need to attend to the following:

  • Obtain a demolition permit from your local council. Heritage-listed area, a request to demolish your home will require approval from the Heritage Association as well as special approvals from local Council.

  • Obtain tree removal permits if required. (Contact your local Council for further information)

  • Get an asbestos check. (Most demolition company’s will be able to organise this) If your house was built before the 1980s it's more than likely asbestos was used.

  • Contact electricity, water and gas suppliers. The electricity and water will need to be abolished and the gas metre will need to be physically removed from the premises. It's illegal to do any of this yourself. You must contact the relevant utilities companies to carry out the work.

Demolition Process:

​

Prior to demolishing a building it is carefully studied and analysed. All the parts of the building are checked with details.  An asbestos check is performed prior to any commencement of demolition works.   If needed asbestos removalist is notified to carry out the required works. At all times only a licensed Asbestos remover will be used. Once clearance of asbestos has been obtained (if any present) a safe work method is decided upon. Demolition begins only when all services have been abolished and all Council Approvals have been obtained and documented. Once all these matters are taken care of the actual demolition work starts where the building is actually pulled down using different machines, tools and equipment. All debris is loaded and transported to the appropriate Waste Transfer Stations.
