If you've found someone that reasonably priced & good you'll have to share the details.

I think when they say they will recycling all the materials that's code for bury it on a mate's farm somewhere 😂 I'm with Old Bloke on this one, make sure they do a complete job and remove all old house footings and services from below the ground level. Good luck! Kind Regards James Mason - Our Build. www.renovationjunkies.com.au www.ourbuildhandyman.com.au Re: Demolition recommendation 13Mar 07, 2017 7:12 am I am with our build 123 on this one, make sure they remove old footings and restore the site. What about site drainage? They could ruin your site if water does not drain properly post demolition. Also you have a problem with someone driving 200 k + range rover but there is another angle, maybe it's because he is good at what he does, I have not seen losers doing that. And yes I have seen a major development site shut down because demolishers left asbestos strewn all over it.(and not until I have seen a fencer with his young two sons working on it oblivious to the asbestos danger. Regardless, if you are doing the demolition, you are the first builder on the site, act like one. That means: permit, planning, communication, supervision, control. If you trip, a second builder could come out with hefty variations.

I've managed to reduce this more by doing a lot of work myself. I gave away half the roof tiles for free (advertised on Gumtree) and had a Second hand building materials place come and removed all the timber windows, fittings and a few other things at no cost. I've also arranged for them to come back and collect the timber roof trusses again at no cost to me as long as I remove them and place them close to the driveway to make it easier for them to load it on the truck. They'll also come back and remove the timber floorboards. As for the bricks, I'll be reusing them. It would cost be 75 cents per brick to buy commons plus what ever the cost would be to remove them. They're lime mortar so clean easily and I have a few guys helping to clean them. I know this is not the fastest way to build but I can afford the extra time it will take, especially if it means saving $$$ to spend elsewhere.

Onspot demolitions Completed for $13k Did a good job, builder even made them dig up a couple of areas as evidence footings are gone, which they were Just needed some shopping around and some deep analysis on the pricing modelling, profitability etc - which is what I do for a living Trees removed with no damage to fence, block levelled and all rubbish removed Re: Demolition recommendation 17May 13, 2017 10:44 am That's a great price - well done.
