Hazardous Removal Company delivers fully licensed, SafeWork NSW‑compliant demolition across Sydney. Our team manages permits, asbestos testing, removal, site clearing, and complete structural teardown for homes and commercial sites. Your safety and legal compliance remain our priority.
What Should You Check Before Booking a Demolition Company in Sydney?
You check three things before booking demolition in Sydney: licensing, asbestos requirements, and council approvals. HRC handles all three in one compliant workflow. Our licensed team conducts a full site inspection, arranges asbestos testing through NATA‑accredited labs, and confirms whether your structure requires a DA or demolition permit under NSW regulations.
Demolition jobs in Sydney rely on accurate pre‑planning because most homes built before 1990 contain asbestos, and NSW law requires removal by a licensed provider before any teardown begins. HRC performs asbestos identification, removal, and air monitoring to ensure the site meets SafeWork NSW standards.
After safety checks, we coordinate utility disconnection (gas, water, electricity) and prepare the site for teardown. This reduces delays, avoids compliance issues with Sydney councils, and protects your builder or knock‑down rebuild project from costly setbacks.
Homeowners, builders, and developers rely on this process to meet WHS obligations and reduce project risk. HRC simplifies the steps so you move from inspection to demolition efficiently, legally, and safely. Every job includes waste removal, site clearing, and documentation to support rebuilds or construction approvals.
How Does a Safe and Legal Demolition Process Work in Sydney? (Step-by-Step Breakdown)
A compliant demolition process in Sydney follows seven defined steps. HRC completes each step under SafeWork NSW guidelines to protect your site, workers, and neighbours.
- Site Inspection: We assess structure type, access, materials, and potential hazards.
- Asbestos Testing: Samples go to a NATA‑accredited lab when the building is pre‑1990 or shows risk indicators.
- Permit Management: We determine if you need a Development Approval, a Complying Development Certificate, or a standard demolition permit and manage the documentation.
- Utility Disconnection: Gas, water, and electrical services are safely disconnected before demolition begins.
- Structural Demolition: Licensed technicians carry out controlled teardown procedures for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
- Waste Removal & Recycling: Debris is sorted, asbestos is handled separately, and all waste is legally transported and disposed of.
- Site Clearing & Handover: The Ground is made safe and ready for rebuilding.
This process ensures your demolition meets all Sydney council rules, WHS obligations, and environmental requirements. It also prevents delays or compliance issues for builders or developers during the next phase of the project.
What Does Demolition Cost in Sydney and What Affects the Final Price?
Demolition cost in Sydney ranges between $15,000 and $40,000, and the final price depends on five key factors: structure size, access, asbestos presence, waste volume, and council requirements. HRC provides detailed, fixed‑scope quotes so clients avoid unexpected charges.
Asbestos is the largest cost variable. Pre‑1990 homes often contain bonded or friable material, and SafeWork NSW requires licensed removal before demolition. This process adds testing, removal, air monitoring, and clearance certification to ensure your site passes compliance checks.
Access also impacts cost. Tight streets in suburbs like Surry Hills or Newtown require smaller machinery, traffic management, and controlled removal methods, whereas larger blocks in Penrith or Campbelltown allow faster work.
Waste disposal contributes to expenses, especially when structures contain hazardous materials or large volumes of mixed debris.
Council requirements also influence pricing. Some Sydney councils require environmental plans, sediment control, or heritage assessments before issuing permits.
HRC evaluates all factors during the inspection and provides a clear demolition plan aligned with your rebuild schedule. Our Sydney‑wide service ensures every job is compliant, safe, and delivered with full regulatory transparency.
