What comes up in Richmond

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.

Flood affected dwelling and outbuildings

Timber and fibro construction that water has been through, which changes how the material is assessed.

How it is handled
Condition assessed before disturbance, removal under the appropriate controls, then the structures down and the material streams kept apart.
What does it
Licensed asbestos removalists where the condition requires it, then an excavator with a grapple.

Filling and levelling on the flats

Where the design calls for the ground to come up rather than come out.

How it is handled
Suitable material brought in, placed and compacted in layers rather than tipped and spread, to the level the design nominates.
What does it
Excavator and roller, truck and dogs bringing material in.

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.

Richmond

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Flood affected land on the Hawkesbury flats A planning and design matter that affects what can be filled, built or left, and worth confirming before a scope is fixed.
  • Older village and rural stock Timber and fibro construction going back decades, with outbuildings on most properties.
  • Water damaged material Which breaks cement sheet up and can move it from bonded to friable.
  • Room to work Generous properties with good machine access on most blocks.

Richmond properties generally have space and good access, so the containment, the staging and the loading can be set up properly. After a wet period the ground on the flats affects where plant can track more than it affects the structure.

What we do in Richmond

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.

Richmond questions

What people ask before we start

Does flood affectation stop a rebuild?
Not necessarily, but it sets the conditions. Floor levels, what can be filled and what can be built are planning and design matters for the consent authority and your designer, and they are worth confirming for the property before a scope is fixed.
Is flood damaged fibro more dangerous?
It can be. Water damage and the handling that follows a flood both break material up, and damaged cement sheet may have to be treated as friable. That is assessed on site before anything is disturbed.
Do you work on rural and semi rural blocks?
Yes, and there is usually room to do it properly. Sheds, outbuildings and farm structures are a different mix from a suburban street, and old fibro turns up in them regularly.
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.
