When most Sydney homeowners or business owners plan a renovation, they focus on two main stages — demolition and construction. But there’s a critical phase in between that often gets overlooked: what happens after the strip out demolition is complete, but before construction begins.
This “in-between” stage is where many projects either stay on track or fall behind.
In this blog, we break down what really happens between strip out demolition and construction in Sydney, and why this stage is essential for a successful build.
