We demolish houses, units, sheds, garages and outbuildings across Brisbane, Ipswich and Logan – whether you are clearing a block for a knockdown rebuild, removing a structure that has reached the end of its life, or stripping an interior back before a renovation.
Residential work happens with neighbours a few metres away. Dust, noise, vibration, truck movements and where the machine sits all have to be managed on a tight suburban block, and getting that wrong is what turns a straightforward job into a dispute with the people next door.
We run our own crews and our own machinery, and we are licensed for asbestos removal in-house – so if asbestos is found, the same team deals with it on the same programme instead of you chasing a second contractor. Houses are one part of the work we do – our full range of demolition services in Brisbane covers commercial, industrial and asbestos projects too.
The price we quote is the price you pay, with no hidden charges.
The whole structure comes down and the block is cleared – the usual starting point for a knockdown rebuild. Slabs, footings, paths, driveways and pool surrounds come out too if you need the site clear to build, so agree that scope before the quote rather than after.
Removing part of a house while the rest stays standing and, often, lived in. Extensions, rear sections, upper storeys, carports and lean-tos. The remaining structure has to be left weatherproof and structurally sound, which is what separates this from simply knocking something over.
Internal walls, flooring, tiles, ceilings, cabinetry and fixtures removed while the shell and roof stay intact – the normal first stage of a major renovation. Services are isolated and the structure is left clean and ready for your builder to start.
We obtain the demolition permit through a building certifier. On character or heritage-affected properties this takes longer, so it is worth telling us early if your block falls into either category.
Power, water and gas are disconnected by the relevant authorities, and temporary fencing goes up around the site with safety signage before any work starts.
Any asbestos is removed and disposed of by our licensed team before the structure is touched. In Brisbane this affects most homes built before the late 1980s – fibro sheeting, eaves, wet-area linings and roof sheets.
The structure comes down with our own machinery, with water used for dust suppression and the sequence chosen to keep debris inside the site boundary.
Waste is loaded into trucks and separated into timber, metal, concrete and general waste so recyclable material goes to recycling rather than landfill.
The block is track-rolled and left clean, level and presentable – ready for your builder, or ready to sell.
Most people asking about a house demolition want a number before anything else, and an honest one cannot be given over the phone without knowing a few things. These are what actually move the figure – and they are the questions we will ask you.
Floor area, number of storeys, and whether the structure is timber, brick or a mix. A high-set timber home and a double-brick slab-on-ground house of the same footprint are different jobs with different disposal costs.
Usually the single biggest variable on an older Brisbane home. It is identified at the assessment so it is priced upfront, not raised as a variation once the job has started.
Whether a truck and excavator can get in, the width of the frontage, slope, retaining walls, overhead powerlines and how close the neighbours sit. Tight access means smaller plant and more movements, and that costs more.
Slabs, footings, driveways, paths, pools, trees and fences are all separate decisions. Being clear about what you need gone – and how far down – is what makes a quote comparable between contractors.
Demolition in a residential street is regulated for good reason, and the paperwork matters as much as the machinery. We handle the approvals and keep the documentation so you are not left proving compliance later.
Yes. A demolition permit is required, and it is obtained through a building certifier rather than directly from council. We arrange it as part of the job. If your property is in a character residential zone or is heritage-affected, additional approval may be needed and the timeline is longer – tell us early so it does not hold up your build.
The demolition itself is usually a few days. The whole process from engagement to a cleared block more commonly runs two to six weeks, and the permit and the service disconnections are nearly always the longest part – not the machine work. If there is asbestos to remove, allow extra time for that to be done and cleared first.
It depends on the size and construction of the house, whether asbestos is present, how good the site access is, and how much of the slab, paths and surrounds you need removed. We will not guess a figure over the phone. We come out, look at the site, and give you a fixed written price – and that price is what appears on your bill.
Most Brisbane homes built before the late 1980s contain some. We are licensed to remove it ourselves, so there is no second contractor to engage. It is identified at the site assessment wherever possible so it is included in the quoted price rather than appearing as a variation, removed and disposed of under the relevant regulations before demolition, and you receive the disposal dockets.
Yes, if you want them gone – but it is a separate decision that affects the price, so settle it before the quote. If you are building again, your builder will usually tell you how far down the site needs to be cleared. If you are not sure, we will walk through the options with you on site.
Temporary fencing and signage go up before work begins, water is used for dust suppression throughout, and we keep debris inside the site boundary. On tight blocks the method and the plant are chosen around what is next door. Most complaints on residential jobs come from dust and unexpected noise, and both are manageable with planning.
Track-rolled, clean and level, with waste separated and removed. You should be able to walk the site and see bare, compacted ground ready for the next stage – whether that is a builder or a sale. We walk it with you before we demobilise.
Tell us about the property and we will come out, look at it properly, and give you a written price with the inclusions set out. No obligation, and no charge for the assessment.
