What comes up in Ryde

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.

Post-war house to dual occupancy

The commonest Ryde job. One dwelling, one set of services, and a block about to carry two or more.

How it is handled
Disconnections confirmed in writing, the dwelling and rear structures removed, then the block left level to the new set out.
What does it
Midi excavator with a grapple, sized to the side gap.

Basement dig in shale derived clay

Ryde ground is generally clay rather than sandstone, which changes the batter, the support and the classification of what comes out.

How it is handled
Dug with a toothed bucket, with the face battered or supported to the engineer design and the spoil classified before it moves.
What does it
Midi to large excavator with a toothed bucket, truck and dog for volume.

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.

Ryde

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Post-war housing going to higher density Duplex, dual occupancy and apartment redevelopment, each with a different approval path.
  • Basements under redevelopment sites So the demolition and the dig are better planned as one sequence.
  • Shale derived clay soils Heavier and wetter than sand, and classified differently when they leave.
  • Pre 1990 stock across the older streets With the survey at the front of the scope.

Ryde streets will generally take a tipper and the arterials are close, so cartage off a basement dig is workable. On the denser redevelopment sites the constraint is the site itself: little room to stockpile, so the trucks are sequenced against the machine.

What we do in Ryde

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.

The consent authority for the property sets the conditions, the hours and the notification requirements, and the service disconnections sit with the authorities rather than with us.

Nearby areas we service include Burwood, Epping, Gladesville, Strathfield. This location forms part of our wider Inner West and Ryde coverage.

Ryde questions

What people ask before we start

Can you do the demolition and the basement in one contract?
Yes, and it is usually the better arrangement. One contractor means the shoring, the batter and the truck movements are planned once rather than handed over midway.
What is the ground like for a basement dig in Ryde?
Generally shale derived clay rather than sandstone, which affects the batter, the support and the classification of the spoil. A geotechnical report settles it for a particular block.
Can you demolish a semi or a terrace without damaging the one next door?
That is partial demolition and it is routine work. The party wall is propped, the roof junction detailed and the wall left weatherproof. The demolition at the boundary is done by hand rather than with a machine.
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.
