Alright, so you’re planning a demolition or strip-out project in Sydney? Whether it’s a kitchen demolition, bathroom strip out, or asbestos soil removal, we know it’s not all smooth sailing. We’ve been in the game for 20 years, and trust us, we’ve come across just about every challenge you can think of. Let’s dive into 10 of the most common hiccups we’ve dealt with and how we make sure things stay on track—no stress.
If your house was built before the 90s, there’s a good chance you’ve got some nasty asbestos lurking around. It could be in the walls, ceilings, or even in the soil, and trust us, you don’t want to mess with it.
The Issue: Asbestos can cause serious health problems, so it’s not something you want to take lightly.
How We Deal with It: At Evolve Demolition, we’ve got all the right licenses to carry out asbestos soil removal and asbestos management. We follow Safe Work Australia’s guidelines to keep everything safe and sound. Our team handles it professionally, so you don’t have to worry.
Let’s be honest, demolition means one thing—rubble, rubble, and more rubble. And Sydney’s got pretty strict rules on what you can and can’t throw away.
The Issue: You don’t want to just send all that waste straight to the dump, right? It’s bad for the environment, and it could cost you.
How We Deal with It: We’re all about recycling. Whether it’s residential rubbish removal or stripping out a commercial property, we make sure to repurpose whatever we can. For example, concrete can be crushed and reused, so it’s not just taking up space in a landfill. In fact, we divert over 80% of waste from the dump.
Ever started a kitchen demolition or bathroom strip-out only to find mouldy beams, dodgy plumbing, or worse? It happens more than you think.
The Issue: You think you’ve got everything under control, and then BAM! There’s a problem with the foundation or structure.
How We Deal with It: With 20 years of experience, we know exactly what to look for before we even start. We inspect everything thoroughly before we lift a hammer. But if something pops up mid-project, we’ve got the skills to sort it out quickly without holding up the whole job.
Everyone knows that demolition can get expensive real quick. You’re already stressing about the project, and now you’ve got to worry about the wallet, too.
The Issue: Hidden costs, extra delays, and unexpected problems can all make your budget go through the roof.
How We Deal with It: We give you a clear, detailed quote before we start. We’ve been at this for 20 years, so we know exactly how long a garage demolition or partial demolition will take, and we stick to the plan. That way, there are no surprises for you when the bill comes.
5. Permits and Paperwork: Who Needs ‘Em?
You can’t just start tearing down walls without the right permits—specially in Sydney. Trust us, we’ve learned that the hard way.
The Issue: Different projects require different permits, and if you mess this up, it could stop the whole thing in its tracks.
How We Deal with It: We’re experts at navigating Sydney’s red tape. Whether it’s for swimming pool removal or tile removal, we handle all the paperwork so you don’t have to. We take care of the permits and make sure everything’s up to code. Easy.
Demolition isn’t exactly a walk in the park. It’s heavy work, and things can go wrong if you don’t play it safe.
The Issue: Heavy machinery, flying debris, and all sorts of potential dangers.
How We Deal with It: Safety is number one for us. Our team is equipped with the best gear, from helmets to steel-toe boots, and we follow strict safety protocols. Whether we’re doing a bathroom strip-out or a partial demolition, we make sure the site is secured and everyone stays safe.
If you’ve ever tried to live through a residential demolition, you know it’s not fun. Dust, noise, mess—it can throw your entire day off.
The Issue: Demolition can be super disruptive, especially if it’s your home.
How We Deal with It: We’re quick and efficient, keeping things on schedule so you’re not living in a construction zone forever. We make sure to keep you in the loop with regular updates, and we tidy up as we go. We aim for minimal disruption, whether it’s a full house strip-out or just clearing out the old tiles.
Concrete is tough stuff. Removing it isn’t just a matter of smashing it with a sledgehammer—it’s a whole operation.
The Issue: Concrete is heavy, stubborn, and requires special equipment to remove safely.
How We Deal with It: We’ve got the gear and the know-how to handle concrete removal without breaking a sweat. Our equipment makes light work of even the hardest materials, so we get it out of there quickly and efficiently.
Maybe you only want to knock down part of the house. Simple, right? Well, it’s actually pretty tricky to do it right.
The Issue: Partial demolition means taking down parts of a structure while making sure the rest stays intact—one wrong move, and you’ve got a big mess on your hands.
How We Deal with It: With our years of experience, we’ve become experts at partial demolition. We plan everything carefully so that only the right sections come down. No accidental damage, no hassle.
Sydney is packed with tight streets and narrow driveways. Not exactly the best conditions for a smooth demolition.
The Issue: Sometimes, the site just isn’t built for heavy equipment or large trucks.
How We Deal with It: We’ve worked in all sorts of tricky spots, from inner-city suburbs to narrow alleyways. We plan the logistics in advance, making sure everything arrives and leaves without any issues—whether we’re doing a garage demolition or a small tile removal job.
So there you have it! Demolition projects in Sydney come with their share of challenges, but with 20 years of experience, we’ve got everything covered. From dealing with asbestos to managing partial demolitions and tricky access issues, we know how to get things done quickly, safely, and without breaking the bank.
