What comes up in Frenchs Forest

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.

Getting plant down a steep driveway

On a Frenchs Forest block the access is usually harder than the work, and the answer is often a smaller machine for longer rather than a large one quickly.

How it is handled
Assessed at the site visit, with the route in and the route out for material both settled before a price is given.
What does it
Mini and midi excavators, tippers staged at the street rather than at the work face.

Vegetation at the bushland edge

Blocks here back onto bush, which brings sediment control and what can be left on site into the scope alongside the clearing itself.

How it is handled
Cleared once tree approval is in place, with retained vegetation protected and sediment controls in before the first machine arrives.
What does it
Mulcher where the volume and the site allow it, otherwise cartage to a green waste facility.

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.

Frenchs Forest

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Steep driveways and elevated blocks Which decides what plant can get on and how material gets off.
  • Significant trees Tree approval is routinely the longest item on a clearing programme here.
  • Bushland interface Which affects vegetation clearing, sediment control and what can be left on site.
  • Rock in places Priced on a rate rather than assumed either way.

Getting plant onto a Frenchs Forest block is frequently the hardest part of the job. Steep driveways, long frontages and bushland edges all constrain what can be used, and the answer is often a smaller machine working for longer rather than a large one working quickly.

What we do in Frenchs Forest

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.

Frenchs Forest questions

What people ask before we start

How long does tree approval take?
It depends entirely on the council and the tree, and it is not something a contractor can shortcut. It is worth starting that process well before the demolition or clearing is programmed.
Can vegetation be mulched and kept on site?
Sometimes, and where it can it saves cartage. It depends on the volume, what is going on the site afterwards and whether there is anywhere to put it.
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.
