How do I know if I need residential demolition services?
Determining whether you need these services involves assessing several factors related to your property and renovation goals.
What Condition is Your Structure In? If your existing home or a part of it is structurally unsound, aged, or extensively damaged by pests, weather, or other factors, demolition might be necessary. This is especially true if repairs would be more costly or less effective than rebuilding.
What Scale of Renovation Is Needed? For those planning major renovations that require changes to the home’s footprint, layout, or foundation, demolition of certain sections may be required to make way for the new design.
Are You Looking to Better Utilise Your Land? If you’re looking to make better use of your property, such as adding a larger home, multiple units, or different amenities, demolishing the existing structures can provide a clean slate for new developments.
Are You Concerned About Regulatory Compliance? Sometimes, buildings that do not comply with current building codes or regulations may need to be demolished, particularly if upgrading them is impractical or impossible.
Do You Have Environmental Concerns? Homes with hazardous materials like asbestos or lead need careful handling. Demolition and proper disposal of such materials might be required to ensure safety before any new construction begins.
If you’re facing any of these situations, the professional team at A Team Demolition & Civil can provide you with a detailed assessment and the best options moving forward.
How much does residential demolition cost?
The cost can vary widely depending on several factors such as the size of the building, the complexity of the project, and the presence of hazardous materials like asbestos.
Below is a general pricing table to give you an idea of potential costs.
Size of Property | Approximate Cost Range |
Small house (e.g., 1-2 bedrooms) | $10,000 – $30,000 |
Medium house (e.g., 3-4 bedrooms) | $20,000 – $40,000 |
Large house (e.g., 5+ bedrooms) | $30,000 – $60,000 |
PLEASE NOTE: These figures are approximate and can vary depending on the specific requirements of your project.
Key factors affecting cost:
- Asbestos Removal: If asbestos is present, its removal will significantly increase the cost. This could be an additional $2,500 – $10,000 depending on the amount and location of asbestos.
- Site Accessibility: Difficult access to the site can increase costs due to the extra labour and machinery required. For example, inground pool removal may be more challenging than above-ground pool removal.
- Disposal Fees: Costs for disposing of waste can impact the total price. This depends on the volume of debris and the local disposal fees.
- Permits and Fees: Local council permits are necessary for most projects and can vary depending on the scope of the work.

How long does residential demolition take?
The duration of the project in Brisbane can vary significantly based on the complexity and scale of the demolition, but here’s a general timeline to give you an idea:
Preparation and Permitting:
Before any actual work begins, there is typically a preparation phase that includes obtaining the necessary permits, conducting a site assessment, and setting up safety measures.
This process can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the local council’s requirements and the specifics of the project.
Actual Demolition:
It usually ranges from a few days to several weeks. For a standard-sized family home, the physical process of tearing down the structure might take:
- Small houses (1-2 bedrooms): 1-3 days
- Medium houses (3-4 bedrooms): 3-5 days
- Large houses (5 or more bedrooms): 5-10 days
Cleanup and Waste Removal:
After the main structure is demolished, additional time is needed for clearing debris and ensuring the site is clean. This stage can take from a few days to over a week, depending on the amount of debris and the efficiency of the waste removal process.
Final Inspection:
Once demolition and cleanup are completed, a final inspection by local authorities may be required to ensure everything complies with safety regulations. This might add an extra day or two to the overall timeline.
A typical residential demolition project in Brisbane can take anywhere from one to several weeks in total, from the initial preparation to the final clearance of the site.

How can I identify professional residential demolition services?
Identifying a professional residential demolition provider in Brisbane involves several key steps to ensure you select a reliable, experienced, and suitably qualified contractor.
Here’s what to look out for:
- Licensing and Certification: Ensure that any company you consider is fully licensed and certified according to Queensland regulations. This is crucial not only for legal compliance but also for your safety and the safety of the community.
- Experience and Reputation: Look for a company with a solid track record in residential demolition. Experience in dealing with a variety of projects and positive feedback from previous clients are good indicators of reliability and quality of service.
- Insurance and Safety Measures: A professional company must have comprehensive insurance coverage, including public liability insurance, to protect against any accidental damage.
- Environmental Considerations: Choose a company that follows environmentally responsible practices, such as waste recycling and the safe handling of hazardous materials like asbestos. This not only reduces the environmental impact but also ensures compliance with local environmental regulations.
- Transparent Quoting and Pricing: A trustworthy company will provide a clear, detailed quote that outlines all costs involved, including any potential additional charges. This transparency helps avoid unexpected expenses and indicates a professional approach.
- Customer Service: Effective communication and customer service are essential. Look for excavation teams who are responsive, willing to answer your questions, and capable of explaining the process in understandable terms.
