Re: Demolition Costs / Recommendations 10Dec 11, 2014 9:52 am i got quoted $20k to demolish our 2 bed double brick home in ryde, sydney. no asbestos it seems. i think most trades are very busy around here at the moment so there is little incentive to offer good prices. i have to keep looking... Re: Demolition Costs / Recommendations 11Dec 19, 2014 7:09 am The old house was already removed, we had a concrete driveway, retaining walls and garage slab, some trees that needed ripping up, cost $12k.

That sounds a bit too high and make sure all asbestos management procedures are included in that. Just a little bit of info for you - if your house was built or renovated prior to 2003, then there’s a high likelihood that your house could contain Asbestos. Some areas where Asbestos was commonly used include: The exterior- roof sheeting, roof guttering, ridge capping, imitation brick cladding and lining under-eaves, interior wet areas, living areas, kitchens, roof cavity, backyard If you’re unsure whether your house contains Asbestos, send me an email and we can arrange to take samples of suspect materials and get them tested in a NATA accredited laboratory. Re: Demolition Costs / Recommendations 14Mar 30, 2015 11:54 am I demolished my 3 bedroom fibro house in Sydney last September and I was originally quoted $13K which included removal of 2 trees in the backyard.

They demo guys actually showed me the asbestos in the concrete before they removed it from site. Re: Demolition Costs / Recommendations 15Mar 30, 2015 12:20 pm Hi Chris1956.
