Demolition Manly

Demolition in Manly on tight blocks and narrow lanes, where the access decides the machine before the structure does.

What comes up in Manly

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 down a lane

A great deal of Manly stock sits on a lane rather than a street, which settles the machine, the truck and the programme before the building is even looked at.

How it is handled
Worked out at the site visit rather than on day one. Where nothing can turn, material goes out in small loads staged against the machine.
What does it
Mini excavator, hand tools where even that will not fit, bogie tippers at the kerb.

Hand demolition against a neighbour

Manly blocks put the work hard against the building next door often enough that hand demolition at the boundary is the normal method.

How it is handled
The neighbouring wall protected and monitored, demolition by hand at the junction, and the machine kept away from the boundary entirely.
What does it
Hand tools and small plant, with propping designed before anything is removed.

Attached and shared structures

Semis, terraces, duplexes and shopfronts joined to something that stays standing. The job is as much about what is retained as what is removed.

How it is handled
Propping and support to the retained side, hand demolition at the junction, then the wall made weatherproof and left in a condition the neighbour can live with.
What does it
Hand tools and small plant at the junction, with a machine used only where it is safe to do so.

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Access first, structure second Narrow frontages, lanes rather than streets, and neighbours close on both sides.
  • Rock close to the surface Which turns a routine site cut into hammer work and is priced on a rate rather than a figure.
  • Nowhere to stockpile Spoil and rubble leave as they are generated, so the trucks are sequenced against the machine.
  • Coastal weathering on older stock Which affects how bonded material is assessed and handled.

In Manly the street is usually the problem. Where a truck and dog cannot stand or turn, the same volume goes out in far more tipper loads, and on some lanes even a 10 wheeler is not an option. That is worked out before the quote rather than discovered on day one.

What we do in Manly

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.

Manly questions

What people ask before we start

How do you get a machine onto a block with no side access?
Sometimes through the house footprint once the structure is down, sometimes with a smaller machine craned or walked in, and sometimes it is hand demolition with material carried out. The answer comes from looking at the site.
Will the neighbours be affected by hammer work?
Hammering transmits, particularly through rock and particularly on a tight block. Where the neighbours are close the method is often chosen around that, and the hours are worth agreeing in advance.
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.
