Demolition Strathfield

Demolition in Strathfield on large older blocks, where heritage controls often settle what can be removed before a scope is written.

What comes up in Strathfield

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.

Partial demolition with a retained element

Common in the heritage affected parts, where a facade or a front section has to stay standing.

How it is handled
Propping and bracing designed by an engineer and installed first, then hand demolition at the junction and machine work only where it is safe.
What does it
Hand tools and small plant at the retained element, a machine behind it.

Large older dwelling on a deep block

Substantial brick and timber construction with outbuildings, on a block with room to work.

How it is handled
Hazardous materials cleared first, then the structure down with the material separated as it falls and the protected plantings kept clear.
What does it
Midi to large excavator with a grapple, working outside any tree protection zone.

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.

Strathfield

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Large older houses on deep blocks Federation and inter-war stock with substantial structures and mature grounds.
  • Heritage controls in pockets Which decide what can come down, and are a planning matter to resolve before the demolition is scoped.
  • Significant plantings Mature trees on many properties, with protection that decides where plant can stand.
  • Pre 1990 construction throughout So a hazardous materials survey sits at the front of almost every scope.

Strathfield blocks are deep and usually have room for a machine, but the structures are substantial and the plantings are the constraint more often than the frontage is. Where a tree is protected, its root zone decides the working area and the route material takes out.

What we do in Strathfield

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.

Strathfield questions

What people ask before we start

Is the house heritage listed?
That is the first thing to establish, and it is a planning question rather than a demolition one. Whether a property is listed or sits in a conservation area determines what can be removed, and the consent authority settles it.
Can you demolish part of a house and keep a facade?
Yes. Partial demolition with a retained facade is specialist work: the retained element is propped and braced to an engineer design before anything behind it is touched, and the demolition at the junction is done by hand.
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.
