FAQ
Straight answers
Can not find the answer you need? Call the team and we will talk through the site.
Do I need a permit before demolishing a house in Adelaide? +
In many cases, yes. The approval pathway depends on the council area, site overlays, structure type, heritage status, and whether public assets are affected.
How long does demolition usually take? +
A straightforward residential demolition can take several working days once approvals and make-safe steps are complete. Complex commercial or asbestos-affected projects take longer.
Can you manage asbestos before demolition? +
Yes. Asbestos identification, removal planning, licensed handling, disposal, and clearance coordination can be integrated before structural demolition starts.
What happens to demolition waste? +
Materials are separated where practical. Concrete, brick, steel, and timber may be recovered while general or regulated waste is sent through suitable disposal pathways.
Can you inspect the site before quoting? +
Yes. A site review helps confirm access, asbestos risk, waste streams, service disconnections, permits, and the handover condition before a fixed proposal is prepared.
