What comes up in Belmont

3 conditions, and each one is handled differently

Every site is scoped on the day. The table is what the work usually involves here rather than a statement about any particular property.

Original fibro dwelling

The commonest Belmont job, where the sheeting sets the programme.

How it is handled
Condition assessed, removed under licence sheet by sheet rather than broken, then independent clearance before demolition starts.
What does it
Licensed asbestos removalists, then an excavator with a grapple.

Rear yard structures and old concrete

Sheds, carports, paths and slabs that have to come off before anything can be sited behind the house.

How it is handled
Taken off by stream rather than pushed into one heap, with the concrete kept clean so it can be crushed and reused.
What does it
Mini or midi excavator with a hammer, tippers at the kerb.

Freestanding houses

Single and double storey brick, brick veneer, fibro and timber. The era matters more than the material, because anything built before 1990 carries a hazardous materials assumption until it is tested.

How it is handled
Hazardous materials removed and cleared first, services disconnected in writing, then the structure taken down and the material separated as it falls.
What does it
Excavator with a demolition grapple, sized to the side access rather than to the house. Zero tail swing where the work runs hard against a boundary.

Belmont

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Older lakeside stock Much of it original fibro that has never been reclad.
  • Access that varies street by street From generous blocks to tight lakefront lots with one approach.
  • Low lying ground in parts Affecting drainage, excavation and what can be reused as fill.
  • Rear yard structures Sheds, carports and old concrete on most of the older blocks.

Belmont access is inconsistent, which is the point: two blocks in the same street can need different plant. The side gap and the kerb are both checked at the site visit before a method is settled.

What we do in Belmont

Five service groups, one contract

Most jobs need more than one of these. Quoted together they share a mobilisation, a programme and one set of truck movements instead of three contractors waiting on each other.

Belmont questions

What people ask before we start

The house is original fibro. Does the whole thing come out first?
The sheeting does. It is removed under licence and independently cleared before the structure is touched, which is why the survey sits at the front of the programme rather than somewhere in the middle.
Do the shed and the carport come out too?
If they are in scope, yes, and they are taken down separately so the waste streams stay apart. Old shed sheeting is among the most likely places to find weathered asbestos on a property like this.
How do you handle ground that might be contaminated?
It is tested and classified before it moves, then taken to a facility licensed to receive that classification. On former industrial land around Newcastle this is a normal part of the job rather than an exception, and remediation can be quoted on the same contract.
Is Max licensed for the asbestos removal itself?
Max holds the demolition licence, AD214737. The asbestos removal is carried out by licensed asbestos removalists, and the air monitoring and clearance by an independent licensed assessor. The whole pathway is managed as one job so you are not coordinating three contractors.
