What can affect your quote?
- Floor area and storeysThe published bands step up with size; a double-storey house takes longer to bring down and produces more material.
- Construction typeFibro and weatherboard come down faster than brick veneer, and full brick or concrete takes the longest to sort and remove.
- AsbestosBonded asbestos removal is quoted from the assessment. Friable asbestos is removed by our Class A licensed partner.
- Access and machineryNarrow frontages, battle-axe blocks and steep sites limit the machine we can bring in, which changes the time on site.
- Pools, slabs and retaining wallsStructures beyond the house are priced as their own items so you can see what each one adds.
- Council, certifier and utility feesApproval and disconnection fees are set by others. They are itemised separately in your written quote.
