House Demolition Hunter Valley

One of the most common things people want to know when they are considering demolishing their home is how long it will take.
As with a lot of these general demolition questions, unfortunately there isn’t a simple or “price list” style answer.
The reality is – every house is very different and has its own individual variety of factors that will all impact the demolition time required.

Both DA & CDC demolition approval will need to be acquired prior to any work being commenced.
Both local council or a private certifier can grant your approval for demolition to commence.
Private certifiers are generally considered the preferred option within the demolition industry thanks to their proficiency & faster turnaround times.

Demolition is a complex set of tasks involving structural dismantlement, environmental remediation, site clearance, recycling, salvaging and recovery.
Most regulations are outlined by government bodies and require specific licensing to deal with the different stages of the demolition process.
TYR Demolition is fully licensed to perform all contractual work over the course of a complete demolition and is comprehensively insured.

Asbestos was not banned here in Australia until 2003so if your property was built or renovated prior to this date – it is likely to contain an amount of asbestos
Houses that were constructed earlier than 1976 are more likely to contain large amounts of asbestos. Around 98% of homes built after 1954 relyed heavily on asbestos fibre cement and roofing materials.
If you are still unsure the team at TYR are happy to come out and inspect the site for any asbestos.

Once all the relevant permits have been obtained and the property is vacant, demolition only takes a couple of days – although this timeframe can be affected by things such as other uncontrollable or unforeseen variables and extreme weather conditions.

Depending on where the property is located, its proximity to other dwellings and the density of the neighbourhood those around you may hear some machinery during business hours of operation.

Depending on the condition of your property, many things may be reused or recycled which in turn subsidises the total cost of your demolition.
Bricks and timber are most commonly treated and resold as used building materials with windows, doors and even kitchens sometimes being salvaged also.
