Services

Demolition of any kind, and the building work that follows. Delivered by our own crew, trucks and plant.

Commercial demolition and strip-out

Our core work. We strip tenancies and whole floors back to the base building in a planned sequence, including in occupied buildings where noise, dust and access need careful management.

What’s included

  • Internal strip-outs, single tenancy to multi-floor
  • Soft demolition and refurbishment preparation
  • Ceilings, partitions, joinery and floor coverings
  • Services made safe by licensed trades before we start
  • Out-of-hours and staged works for occupied sites

Structural and building demolition

Partial and entire building demolition under our Class B licence with demolition endorsement for buildings up to six storeys. Each job has a demolition plan covering structure, services, hazardous materials, neighbours and traffic.

What’s included

  • Partial and entire building demolition
  • Structural and non-structural demolition
  • Lift shafts, plant rooms and building services
  • Hazardous materials managed with licensed removalists
  • Salvage and recycling of materials

Residential demolition

Clearing a block for a knock-down rebuild or a new development. We work through the approvals with you, arrange the asbestos assessment required for older ACT homes, and leave the site level and ready for your builder.

What’s included

  • Houses, garages, sheds and outbuildings
  • Asbestos assessment and licensed removal arranged
  • Driveways, paths and slabs broken out
  • Tree protection zones respected
  • Site levelled and cleared

  • Landscaping and external structures
  • Site clearing ahead of construction

Construction and building works

As licensed builders we follow the demolition with the building work. We've delivered office fit-outs, retail bakeries and building alterations across Canberra.

What’s included

  • Alterations and modifications
  • Retail and office fit-outs
  • Multi-trade construction packages

Concreting

Our crew forms, pours and finishes concrete for commercial and residential work, from footings and slabs to paths and driveways, including replacing concrete after demolition.

  • Slabs, footings and pads
  • Driveways, paths and crossovers
  • Plain, broom and exposed aggregate finishes
  • Reinforcement and formwork

Scope gap and supplementary works

Every project has work that falls between trade packages. We pick up outstanding, unforeseen or specialised items so the programme doesn't stall.

What’s included

  • Works outside existing trade packages
  • Unforeseen and latent conditions
  • Defects and rectification
  • Small builders works
  • Fast mobilisation

Waste management and removal

We run our own garbage trucks and bins. Demolition material and general waste leave the site as the job goes, without bulky skips, and our rear lifter takes the strain out of tipping heavy bins.

  • Own garbage trucks and waste bins
  • Rear lifter for safe bin handling
  • Pantech truck and hydraulic tipping trailers

Floor grinding and preparation

Carpet glue, vinyl adhesive and coatings ground off to sound concrete with our own floor grinders. On-tool HEPA extraction and sealed work zones keep silica dust under control.

  • Adhesive and glue removal
  • Coating removal
  • Preparation for new floor finishes
  • HEPA dust extraction
  • Silica risk control plan

Concrete cutting and core drilling

Core holes, saw cuts and new openings through slabs, block and brick walls for plumbing, electrical and mechanical services and new doorways, including early-morning starts so trading sites stay open.

  • New door and window openings with steel lintels
  • Out-of-hours works

  • Clean-up on completion

Improvise, adapt, overcome.

No two demolition jobs are the same. When we find something that isn't on the drawings, we work it through with you and keep the job moving, without cutting corners on safety.
