From what I gather, demolitions cost somewhere between $8,000 to $12,000 regardless of size. Demolition August 2009, Construction Started September 2009, Completed December 2010 Re: Demolition Cost 3Feb 07, 2010 4:35 pm My demo 18 months ago cost me $10,500. This was in Melbourne's east, and consisted of: * single storey brick veneer, concrete stumps, deep footings and carport * asbestos removal from the eaves sheeting * concrete driveway (approx 12 metres long) * concrete slabs for 2 outside sheds * 6 large mature trees * a picket fence and gates * exterior paving. They salvaged the kitchen (God only knows why!), the front and back doors, the roof tiles and the picket fence. No names, but I probably wouldn't recommend them anyway!

It would be $2-3K cheaper if it wasn't for our wonderful state govt putting up their tipping levy by 300% on Jan 1st....

This is to remove a double garage (brick) attached 4 room granny flat, indoor/inground swimming pool (plus filling and compacting the hole), footings, some retaining walls, asbestos, concrete paths and some trees/shrubs. We had a lot of trouble getting quotes (out of 12 only got 4) and they ranged from $13,000 to $21,000 - ours isn't a simple/standard demolition though due to the pool. Re: Demolition Cost 9Feb 11, 2010 5:19 pm Hi Yellow, we have just built with M in the same area as you. I had 5 quotes for demolition and the cheapest and best were Pearcedale plant hire. Think we paid about $13K but we had a pretty big house, two sheds and lots of asbestos. I can highly recommend this company-nothing was too much trouble. They even came back a couple of months later when some old footings were dug up for the new house and didn't charge us anything extra.
