Demolition and excavation in Narrabeen, where the elevated blocks sit on rock and the low lying ground near the lagoon does not.

What comes up in Narrabeen

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.

Elevated block on sandstone

On the higher Narrabeen streets the rock is close enough to the surface that it decides the dig rather than the structure.

How it is handled
Rock hammered for the face and ripped where the bedding helps, priced by the cubic metre at a rate agreed before work starts.
What does it
Mid to large excavator with a hydraulic hammer, zero tail swing against boundaries.

Low lying block near the lagoon

Nearer the water the ground is sandy and the water table is close, which is the opposite problem from rock.

How it is handled
The face battered back or supported rather than left vertical, with dewatering planned rather than discovered once the hole is open.
What does it
Excavator with pumps on site and a batter designed for the condition.

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.

Narrabeen

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Two different digs in one suburb Sandstone close to the surface on the elevated blocks, sandy low lying ground nearer the lagoon.
  • Rock priced on a rate Because guessing at it serves nobody.
  • Low lying ground near the water Which affects how an excavation holds up and what can be reused as fill.
  • Older coastal stock Weathered fibro and cement sheet, handled more carefully than intact material.

Narrabeen access varies as much as the ground does. The elevated streets can be steep with tight driveways, and the flatter ground near the lagoon is easier for trucks but softer underfoot after rain. Both are worth looking at before a price is put on the dig.

What we do in Narrabeen

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.

Narrabeen questions

What people ask before we start

Why is rock quoted on a rate rather than a price?
Because nobody knows how much is there until the dig opens up. A rate per cubic metre means the price follows what is actually excavated rather than a guess made from the street.
Does the ground near the lagoon change the method?
Yes. Softer low lying ground affects how a batter holds, whether the excavation needs support, and what the material is suitable for if it is being reused on site.
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.
