20-50% impact
Tight streets, steep blocks, overhead power, shared boundaries and limited truck access can slow the work.
1-6 weeks

Confirm demolition experience, public liability insurance, workers compensation and relevant state licensing.
Pre-1990 buildings need testing and licensed removal where asbestos is present or suspected.
Live electricity, gas, water and sewer services must be safely disconnected or capped before work.
Dust, vibration, traffic, shared boundaries and temporary fencing need to be planned for dense streets.
Demolition waste should be separated, recycled where possible and taken to approved facilities.
Ask for SWMS, disposal receipts, clearance certificates and handover notes where relevant.
The right answer depends on structural condition, asbestos, layout, resale value, council constraints and the cost of making the old building safe.
The structure is unsafe, layout is poor, asbestos is extensive or a new build creates better value.
The bones are sound, heritage value matters, services are workable and only selected areas need removal.
Compare demolition, partial demolition and renovation quotes before committing to plans or permits.
Share photos, structure age, access notes, asbestos concerns and whether the site is for rebuild, sale or renovation.
