Planning a demolition project? Whether it's a full demolition or a selective strip-out, proper preparation ensures the job is safe, efficient, and compliant. Here’s a simple guide to get started.

Step 1: Get the Necessary Permits
Before demolition begins, check with local NSW councils to see if permits are required.
✅ Apply for demolition approval if needed.
✅ Ensure compliance with zoning and safety laws.
💡 Tip: A licensed contractor can handle permits for you.
Step 2: Hire a Licensed Demolition Contractor
Demolition can be dangerous—choose a fully insured & licensed professional.
✅ Look for SafeWork NSW-compliant services.
✅ Ensure proper asbestos removal & waste disposal.
Step 3: Disconnect Utilities Before Work Starts
✅ Shut off electricity*, gas, and water to avoid hazards.
✅ Contact service providers to arrange disconnections.
*Never attempt demolition near live power lines without professional help.
Step 4: Clear the Area & Protect Surroundings
✅ Remove furniture, valuables, and hazardous materials.
✅ Install dust barriers for nearby structures.
💡 Tip: If you’re keeping part of the structure, ask about precision demolition.
Step 5: Plan for Waste Removal & Recycling
✅ Separate recyclable materials like wood, metal & concrete.
✅ Ensure hazardous waste (like asbestos) is properly handled.
