If you are an individual or company about to embark on a construction project, you might be wondering what demolition is, what it involves, and how to safely and responsibly carry out the demolition components of your project. iseekplant offers demolition service contractors across Australia in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and surrounding suburbs.
Demolition is the act of using a controlled method to completely or partly dismantling a structure, such as a building or monument. Demolition firstly dismantles the load-bearing elements of a structure, before stripping away its internal fittings.
Demolition is classified as high-risk work due to the methods involved and the structural instability during the demolition process. Therefore, demolition should always be carried out by professional and experienced demolition companies with the appropriate equipment like demolition excavators. When carried out incorrectly, demolition can cause serious injury or death. Demolition contractors can ensure that every project is completed safely and within regulations, ensuring the health and well-being of you and your workers.

Asbestos is a harmful material that was previously used in a large number of construction projects in Australia and around the world. Asbestos is now commonly found in many houses and commercial buildings. Therefore, asbestos removal has become one of the most highly demanded jobs in recent times. Asbestos has been linked with adverse health conditions, so it is important to remove asbestos to then remove the public and personal health and safety risks.
There are many companies that offer asbestos removal services, but it is important to employ those who are equipped with correct qualifications, and highest occupational health and safety standards. When removing asbestos, the job needs to be completed correctly by removing all the material while not exposing owners, workers or the general public to the toxic materials.
When using iseekplant to find an asbestos removalist, you can ask your chosen contractor to provide an asbestos report before commencing work, so you are aware of all the contaminated material that needs to be removed. It is also important to ensure that the demolition company you employ provides receipts upon completion of all work, as a requirement of the Council and Environmental Protection Authority.
Home and residential demolition can be a tricky process, as it requires becoming familiar with the appropriate local legislation and applying for the correct qualifications. An experienced demolition company can help guide you through this process, taking the stress out of your renovation project. Demolition contractors work alongside your building team to adhere to project timelines and follow the guidance of your project manager.
Most importantly, demolition contractors provide their extensive demolition knowledge and skills, demolition safety requirements, and appropriate demolition equipment. This is to ensure that your residential demolition project can progress smoothly. No matter the size or scope of your residential demolition project, it is crucial to seek professional advice and services to avoid making errors that can have serious health and safety consequences, as well as legal ramifications.
Commercial demolition covers a wide range of projects for companies that are making changes to their premises or undertaking building and development projects. Commercial demolition can include: interior building strip-outs where the internal services, wiring and structural features are removed to make way for new fit-outs, along with structural demolition where old structures are entirely removed to make space or allow for new constructed buildings. Some examples are taking down large industrial scale structures such as schools, shopping centres and more. Commerical demolition can also include smaller projects such as removing only a section of a building or external feature. Excavation is another type of commercial demolition where bulk masses of dirt, rock and materials are excavated to clear sites and prepare commercial projects.
Explosives are used in the controlled demolition industry to cause a structure to collapse in a small amount of time. Explosive and implosive demolition techniques are employed based on the location of the structure and its surrounding elements. Explosion causes a building to erupt outwards but can cause damage to surrounding structures or injury to people. Implosion causes a building to collapse in on itself, which minimises the risk of damage and injury. Implosion is more commonly used in urban and built-up areas. Working with a demolition contractor will ensure the correct demolition method is used on your project, so you are not liable for any harm or damage caused to other people or property.
