What comes up in Shellharbour

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.

Site cut on an estate block

Bringing a coastal subdivision lot to the platform level the design calls for.

How it is handled
Topsoil stripped and kept separate, the cut taken to design level, and the spoil classified once and carted on the same contract.
What does it
Midi to large excavator, truck and dog where the street allows it.

Older coastal dwelling

Established housing where the sheeting has been in the salt air for decades.

How it is handled
Condition assessed before anything is touched, removal under licence where it is asbestos, then the structure down once clearance is issued.
What does it
Licensed asbestos removalists, then an excavator with a grapple.

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.

Shellharbour

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Coastal subdivisions and newer estate land A mix of ordinary knockdowns and site preparation ahead of construction.
  • Flatter ground than the suburbs under the escarpment Which makes the earthworks simpler and the truck access better.
  • Older coastal housing in the established parts Where weathered fibro is common and its condition decides the controls.
  • Distance from Sydney disposal facilities So the haul is a real part of the price and the classification is done properly before material moves.

Shellharbour blocks and streets are generally generous enough for a truck and dog, which matters on a site cut where the volume is real. The constraint is usually the haul rather than the block.

What we do in Shellharbour

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.

Shellharbour questions

What people ask before we start

Do you travel this far south?
Yes. The corridor runs from Wollongong through to Newcastle and the Illawarra is part of it. Travel is accounted for honestly in the quote rather than hidden in the rates, and if a job is too far out to be economic we will say so.
What decides where the spoil goes?
The classification, not the distance. Material is tested and classified before it moves, and it goes to a facility licensed to receive that classification.
Do the steep blocks under the escarpment change the method?
Yes. A cut is taken in benches from the high side with each level stable before the next, machines have to be able to work on a grade, and tippers are usually staged at the street rather than at the work face.
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.
