What comes up in Merrylands

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, pool, shed and garage in one scope

Merrylands rear yards are large enough that there is usually more than one structure, and each has its own waste stream.

How it is handled
Taken down separately so the streams stay apart. The pool shell is broken out and removed, then the void backfilled and compacted in layers.
What does it
Midi excavator, a hammer for the shell, tippers rather than a truck and dog on the smaller volumes.

Knockdown with the slab left in place

Whether the slab comes out depends entirely on the new design, and it is cheaper to settle before the quote than after.

How it is handled
Left and built over where the design allows it, or broken out with a hammer and the level finished where it does not.
What does it
Excavator with a hydraulic hammer and a grading bucket to finish.

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.

Merrylands

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Large post-war blocks Generous by current standards, which usually means a machine can get where it needs to and there is room to sort material on site.
  • Heavy knockdown rebuild and duplex activity The dominant job type here, and it brings services, boundaries and the approval forward in the programme.
  • Pre 1990 construction almost throughout Which is why a hazardous materials survey sits at the front of nearly every Merrylands scope.
  • Pools, sheds and garages in the same scope On a large rear yard there is usually more than one structure, and each has its own waste stream.

Merrylands blocks are wide enough that side access is less often the binding constraint than in the tighter suburbs, and the streets will generally take a 10 wheeler tipper. Where a pool is coming out as well, the spoil and the rubble are separate streams with separate destinations.

What we do in Merrylands

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.

Merrylands questions

What people ask before we start

Can the pool come out at the same time as the house?
Yes, and it is more efficient that way. The shell is broken out and removed, the void is backfilled with material suitable for what is going on top, and it is compacted in layers rather than simply filled.
How long does a Merrylands knockdown take?
Once the approvals and disconnections are in place, a straightforward single storey house is usually a matter of days rather than weeks. Asbestos removal and clearance come before that and are programmed separately.
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.
