What to consider when demolishing your existing home. Just as every build is unique, so is the demolition of your existing property. You’ll need to source a suitable contractor and request a quote.
The costs will depend on a number of things:
Size of the existing home – some companies charge by sqm
Access to the property – a sloping site may require specialised machinery
Other structures to be removed, e.g. a pool, shed or standalone garage
Trees or shrubs to be cleared
Hazardous materials – e.g. asbestos or mould
Considering all of the factors, including size, accessibility, type of home and hazardous materials, the price can vary greatly. We recommend you get a few quotes, but also be vigilant with your selection to ensure they comply with building waste disposal requirements.
