How do I know If I need demolition services?
Deciding what is necessary depends on the condition of your structure, your goals for the property, and potential safety or compliance concerns.
Here are some common indicators that earthworks might be the right choice:
- Structural Damage: If your building has severe damage from natural disasters, age, or other factors, it may be unsafe to renovate or restore. Demolition ensures the safety of future occupants or projects.
- Outdated Design or Functionality: Older structures often lack modern features or compliance with current building codes. Demolishing and rebuilding can provide a fresh start tailored to your needs.
- Cost of Repairs: When the cost of repairs or renovations exceeds the value of the building, this project often becomes the more economical choice.
- Site Redevelopment: If you’re looking to repurpose your land for a new residential, commercial, or industrial project, clearing the existing structure is the first step.
- Health and Safety Risks: Structures with asbestos, mould, or structural instability pose risks that often require professionals to handle safely and effectively.
If you’re unsure what is the best option, our team can provide expert advice. We’ll assess your property and guide you through the process, ensuring the best outcome for your project.

How long does demolition take?
The duration of the project depends on several factors, including the size and type of the structure, site accessibility, and the presence of hazardous materials like asbestos. Here’s a general timeline:
- Small Residential Structures: Demolishing a single-story house or small building typically takes 1–3 days. This includes teardown and debris removal.
- Larger Residential Properties: A larger house or multi-story building may require 3–7 days due to increased complexity and volume of materials.
- Commercial or Industrial Buildings: These projects can vary significantly depending on the size and structural materials. Demolishing commercial site takes 1–4 weeks or more for larger-scale sites.
- Preparatory Work: Before the project begins, tasks like obtaining permits, utility disconnections, and asbestos removal (if required) can add 1–2 weeks to the overall timeline.
- Cleanup and Site Preparation: The cleanup and preparing the site for future use usually take an additional 2–5 days.
CHECKLIST: How to identify a professional demolition contractor
Choosing the right contractor is critical to ensuring your project is completed safely, efficiently, and within budget. Here’s how to identify a professional company:
Licensing and Certification: Always check if the provider is licensed. Proper certification ensures compliance with local laws and safety standards.
Experience and Expertise: Look for a provider with a proven track record in handling projects similar to yours. Experience matters when managing complexities like asbestos removal or demolishing in tight spaces.
Safety Standards: A professional company prioritises safety. Ask about their safety protocols, equipment, and procedures for handling hazardous materials.
Transparent Pricing: Request a detailed, written quote that outlines all costs, including permits, equipment, labour, and waste disposal. Avoid companies that provide vague or overly low estimates.
Customer Reviews and Testimonials: Check reviews and seek referrals from past clients. A reputable company will have a history of satisfied customers and successful projects.
Clear Communication: Choose a provider who listens to your needs, answers your questions, and explains the process in clear terms. Professionalism in communication is a strong indicator of quality service.
