Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 06, 2022 11:59 pm Hi All, New here and hoping someone to recommend a reliable demo contractor. I am currently building with Metricon - Doulton 56 in Melbourne and as the build will conmence in the near future I need to knockdown the old home and make it ready for them to commence. However, M could not recommend a demolition company. Its just sad that a company like M could not recommend a demo company though it says on its website. I am hoping if someone could recommend an honest and reliable demo company in Melbourne Metro Thanks in advance. Re: Demolition company in Melbourne 2Aug 07, 2022 10:53 am Doulton 56 .....
