What comes up in Dapto

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.

House, shed and pool in one scope

Common on the larger post-war Dapto blocks, where the rear yard carries real work.

How it is handled
Taken down separately so the streams stay apart, with the pool shell broken out and the void backfilled and compacted.
What does it
Midi excavator with a grapple and a hammer, tippers for the rubble and clean fill back in.

Site preparation on estate land

Bringing a lot on the edge of town to the level the design calls for.

How it is handled
Topsoil stripped and kept separate, the cut taken to level, and imported fill placed and compacted where the ground has to come up.
What does it
Large excavator and roller, truck and dogs in both directions.

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.

Dapto

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Flatter land than the escarpment suburbs Which makes the earthworks simpler and the truck access better.
  • Established post-war housing With the usual pre 1990 asbestos assumptions and plenty of rear yard structures.
  • Newer estate development on the edges Where the work is site cut, fill and preparation rather than demolition.
  • Room to work on most blocks So material can be separated on site rather than carted mixed.

Dapto blocks and streets are generous enough that plant is chosen for the job rather than the gap, and most streets will take a truck and dog. That matters on a site cut, where fewer trips for the same volume is the biggest saving available.

What we do in Dapto

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.

Dapto questions

What people ask before we start

Can the shed and the pool come out at the same time?
Yes, and it is more efficient. They are taken down separately so the waste streams stay apart, and a pool shell is broken out and the void backfilled and compacted in layers.
Do you supply fill as well as cart spoil?
Yes. Where fill is needed the same truck movement does two jobs, and the material is placed and compacted in layers rather than tipped and spread.
Do the steep blocks under the escarpment change the method?
Yes. A cut is taken in benches from the high side with each level stable before the next, machines have to be able to work on a grade, and tippers are usually staged at the street rather than at the work face.
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.
