The demolishion of my house was completed in April this year was $9500 for 3 bedroom brick veneer house built in the 70's. Things to budget for on top of the $9500 disconnection of services power & gas. Make sure you use a qualified, registered and licensed demolishion company. You may want to find out before disconnecting the power how your power will be reconnected. If you have to install a power pit at the front of your property or will your power distributor reconnect overhead power. If overhead power is an option you may want to look into having a builder's power pole connected at the time of disconnection as this will save you multiple call out fee's. Wow, $9500 that's cheap, we have 5 quotes and all around $15000 mark. We have quite a few asbestos.

They rejected our front setback dispensation application even though the neighbours have agreed and signed the papers. Very annoying.

Just wanted to ask you with your demolition company, did they remove the sewerage pipes underground? Also did they remove the water tap near the house? I understand the water meter at the front of the house remains? Or did u get a plumber yourself to remove the tap at the back of the house? We are going to start demolition in November sometime, we hve just emailed our abolishment notices to our retailer to remove gas and electricity meters. Would be great to hear from your experience so far with demolition. Cheers Mary Re: Knock Down & Rebuild - Melbourne Eastern suburb 19Sep 30, 2014 1:22 pm Hi, I find this thread interesting as I also knocked down an old house in the south east suburb and is in the process of building a new one with a volume builder. I got a few quotes from demolition companies and went with one which was not too expensive but very efficient in their service. There was another company which quoted me 1k cheaper but I had difficulties getting the guy to meet me on site or even to return my phone calls. The company I used charged me 11k plus 10%GST. Works out to be $12.1k. The old house was a single storey brick, with 4 rooms and 2 baths, lots of zink structures (garage, sheds) and timber pergola. Price also included getting asbestos specialist to manually remove asbestos from kitchen and eaves, issuing asbestos cert and demolition permit. The other quote I got was 14k plus GST. The demolition company will remove all structures and footings, including house foundations and driveway. But they normally leave behind underground sewer and water pipes as they don't go around digging deep into your soil to find these. Garden tap and meter is also untouched and you may want to get a plumber in to install a new tap and seal up the broken water pipe leading to the house. I got a plumber who charged me $140 for this. My new build has since progressed and I had no problems from my builder with regards any old underground pipes.
