What comes up in Mona Vale

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.

Larger block with rock under the topsoil

Mona Vale blocks are generous enough that the machine is chosen for the ground rather than the gap, which matters because a hammer needs a machine to carry it.

How it is handled
Topsoil stripped with a standard bucket, then the rock hammered and priced by the cubic metre at an agreed rate.
What does it
Mid to large excavator with a hydraulic hammer, ripper where the bedding allows.

Established plantings to work around

Mature trees on the older Mona Vale blocks frequently carry protection, and that decides where plant can stand.

How it is handled
Root zones kept clear of machines and stockpiles, with the demolition and dig sequence planned around the protection rather than adjusted afterwards.
What does it
Smaller plant positioned outside the protection zone where required.

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.

Mona Vale

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Rock frequently close to the surface Which is the main variable in a Mona Vale price.
  • Larger blocks with established plantings So tree protection and approval come into clearing scopes.
  • Room to work on most blocks Better than the southern end of the peninsula, which helps the plant selection.
  • Older housing stock With bonded asbestos assumed until tested.

Mona Vale blocks are generally more generous than Manly or Narrabeen, so the machine is more often chosen for the ground than for the gap. That matters here, because the machine that can hold a hammer is not always the machine that fits a tight block.

What we do in Mona Vale

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.

Mona Vale questions

What people ask before we start

What machine do you need for rock?
Big enough to carry and work a hydraulic hammer, which is usually a mid to large excavator. On a tight block a zero tail swing machine is used where the cut runs hard against a boundary.
Can you tell from the street whether there is rock?
Not reliably. Outcrop nearby is a signal rather than an answer, and a geotechnical report is worth more than any amount of looking.
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.
