Good work.
In their words.
A difficult job, sloping block and below road level. I was kept informed as I lived interstate by tele and photos. Very tidy and clean finish when I visited.
Very honest company, no shock bills or excess variations.
Bill, Hussein and the entire team did an amazing demolition and asbestos removal job for me… they managed it all in less than a day to take down the garage and demo the adjoining shed.

Five stages, in the order they happen. The machines are on site for days; the preparation around them takes longer.

Areas we cover across SydneyFind your
suburb.
What do you need to prepare a quote?
Start with your suburb, the work you need and what should stay. Photos of the property and access help. Plans, dimensions and any asbestos reports are useful when available, but you can enquire without them.
How long does a house demolition take?
A single-storey house typically takes 2–5 days of machine work once preparations are complete. Allow 2–4 weeks for the demolition stage, including disconnections and any asbestos removal. Approvals come first, and weather and site conditions can extend the programme. We confirm the timing for your job with the quote. See how a house demolition runs.
Do you work directly with my builder?
We can coordinate the removal scope and intended handover with you and your builder. We agree responsibilities for approvals, utility disconnections, any asbestos removal and clearance before work is booked.
Can you work on a property with narrow access?
Send photos and measurements of gates, driveways and the narrowest points, including any overhead obstructions. We assess the access and available working space before agreeing the method, machinery and price. Nearby structures and anything that needs protecting are part of that assessment.
What if there may be asbestos on the property?
Leave suspected material undisturbed and let us know when you enquire. Assessment and testing where needed establish the removal scope. Our team removes non-friable asbestos; licensed Class A subcontractors handle friable asbestos, with independent clearance after licensed removal. See how asbestos removal is arranged.
Who organises approvals and utility disconnections?
We can coordinate approvals, utility disconnections, asbestos removal and clearance when included in the agreed scope. We agree who books and pays for each item before work is booked. Requirements depend on the property and proposed work, so your council or certifier confirms the applicable approval pathway. Read the demolition approvals guide.
