What comes up in Dee Why

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.

Walk up block near the centre

Dee Why redevelopment often starts with a unit block rather than a house, on a site with footpaths in use and neighbours close.

How it is handled
Survey, disconnections in writing, soft strip, then the structure down in stages behind hoarding with traffic management in place.
What does it
Mid to large excavator where there is room, hoarding and dust control throughout.

Demolition ahead of a basement

On the redevelopment sites here something comes down and a basement goes in, and planning them together is most of the value.

How it is handled
Batter, shoring and truck movements worked out once, with the spoil classification settled before any material moves.
What does it
The same machine and trucks across both stages, with attachments changed as the work changes.

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.

Dee Why

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Mixed density around the centre A single knockdown and a walk up demolition can be in neighbouring streets, and they are different jobs.
  • Unit block redevelopment Which runs as a planned sequence rather than a knockdown.
  • Rock on the elevated blocks Which is a rate question on the excavation that follows.
  • Basements under redevelopment sites So the demolition and the dig are better planned together.

Around the Dee Why centre, truck standing and traffic management are part of the job rather than an afterthought, and the working hours may be set by what is around the site. On the residential streets the usual Northern Beaches constraints apply: tight blocks, close neighbours and little room to stockpile.

What we do in Dee Why

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.

The consent authority for the property sets the conditions, the hours and the notification requirements, and the service disconnections sit with the authorities rather than with us.

Dee Why questions

What people ask before we start

Do you demolish unit blocks on the Northern Beaches?
Yes. Walk ups and unit blocks are part of the licensed work. They need a full hazardous materials survey, written confirmation of service disconnections, a soft strip and then a planned structural demolition.
Can the basement dig follow straight on?
Yes, and it is usually better that way. One contractor means the shoring, the batter and the truck movements are planned once, and on a tight Dee Why block that planning is most of the job.
Why is rock priced on a rate instead of a fixed figure?
Because nobody knows how much rock is there until the dig opens up. The strip, the access and the cartage can be priced from a site visit. The rock is priced by the cubic metre at a rate agreed before we start, so the price follows what is actually excavated.
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.
