What comes up in Blacktown

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.

Demolition to a builder programme

Most Blacktown work is one step inside a knockdown rebuild programme, so the handover date matters as much as the demolition.

How it is handled
Sequenced against the set out date: asbestos cleared, structure down, site cut taken, block left ready for the surveyor.
What does it
Midi to large excavator, truck and dog for the cut volume.

Site cut into shale

Shale comes up close to the surface on many Blacktown blocks, which changes the attachment and therefore the rate.

How it is handled
Weathered material ripped or dug with a toothed bucket. Fresh shale is hammer work and is priced by the cubic metre at an agreed rate.
What does it
Large excavator with a ripper, and a hydraulic hammer where the ground calls for it.

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.

Blacktown

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • High volume knockdown rebuild area Which means the demolition is one step in a builder programme, and the handover date matters as much as the work.
  • Shale close to the surface on many blocks Which changes how a site cut and the footings are dug, and it is a rate question rather than a method one.
  • Mixed residential and commercial Shops, light industrial and residential within a short distance.
  • Pre 1990 stock across the older streets So the hazardous materials survey sits at the front of most scopes.

Blacktown has good arterial access and most streets will take a truck and dog, which matters on a site cut where the volume is real. On the blocks where shale comes up close to the surface, the machine and the attachment are chosen for the ground rather than for the structure.

What we do in Blacktown

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.

Blacktown questions

What people ask before we start

Why does the ground matter on a Blacktown knockdown?
Because the site cut after it usually does. Weathered shale generally comes out with a ripper or a toothed bucket rather than a hammer, and the spoil is heavier, wetter and classified differently from sand.
Can you work to a builder programme?
Yes, and that is most of the work here. The demolition, the clearance and the site cut are sequenced against the set out date rather than run as separate jobs.
Do you charge travel to come out to Western Sydney?
No. Western Sydney is one of the two areas we are in most weeks, so there is no travel loading on work here and a site visit is usually easy to arrange.
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.
