Underground Services: The Hidden Challenge in Demolition Projects

Most people planning a demolition focus on the obvious stuff. Asbestos removal, council permits, which contractor to use. But there’s a whole mess of complications underground that nobody really talks about until it becomes a problem. Every property in Perth has services running underneath – water, sewer, power, gas, telecommunications. When you demolish a house, […]

If you own an older property in a sought-after suburb, you might be sitting on more value than you realise. Here’s something that surprises a lot of people: sometimes a block of land with nothing on it is worth more than the same block with an old house. Let me explain why developers and savvy

Old concrete slabs often have form release agents, curing compounds, or previous sealers that prevent new concrete from bonding properly. These chemicals were designed

The Timing Problem Nobody Talks About

Demolition looks straightforward from the outside. Big machine, old house, rubble. Done. But anyone who’s actually organised a demolition knows the real challenge isn’t knocking things down – it’s getting everything else to line up. The permits alone can take weeks. Council wants drawings, engineering reports, sometimes neighbour notifications. Then there’s the utilities. Water, power,

Why Demolition Sites consider the future

Knocking down buildings seems straightforward until you start looking at what actually happens to these sites afterwards.
