Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 23, 2013 12:55 pm Is it the norm for demolition company's not to supply safety fences ? We have signed up with a demo company to be told we need to supply the fence. We only need one fence at the front of the block as all the other sides have existing fences around the block. We approached our builder to see if they could put the safety fence up 2 weeks prior to them starting our build - short answer was no. They gave us the name of the company that they use for their fencing but the cost was on us. Is this what is normally done ? Thanks Re: Demolition company not supplying safety fence Q 2Apr 23, 2013 2:19 pm Magical if you are in Sydney try Matt at AAAGS Demolition and Excavation - 0401 938 771. We have a quote from him, very, very helpful, great price and pretty sure he supplies everything. Give him a call - doesn't hurt to ask. Re: Demolition company not supplying safety fence Q 4Apr 23, 2013 2:42 pm You could always get Matt to give you a quote and see if it is $1,000 cheaper... I don't have the quote with me but I am pretty sure he supplies all the fencing etc. and makes sure everything is cleared from the site before he removes the fencing. You would think that ALL demo companies would supplies fences as part of OH&S and Work Cover regulations. Don't suppose the company would like to give you your deposit back, wonder if they would if you could show them a new quote that was cheaper and fencing was supplied.

And from soemone who has recetnly used him, he is very reliable and does a great job for a great price!
