Demolition is the process of removing a structure. Demolishing a building is a big process. It involves many steps, from getting permits to hiring contractors and demolition crews. The structure can be any building or non-building structure. Residential and commercial demolitions in Sydney are very different from each other. In this blog, we will discuss the reasons for residential and commercial demolitions.

Residential Demolitions

Most residential demolitions in Sydney are done for new construction, especially if you're building a new house on the same lot like your old one. Demolishing an old house and constructing a new one can be much more cost-effective than trying to repair an old home that has become structurally unsound.

Commercial Demolitions

Commercial buildings are typically demolished after they've been damaged by fire or other disasters such as hurricanes or floods. In these cases, the cost of rebuilding is often prohibitive, so engineers recommend commercial demolition in Sydney instead - especially if the building has suffered severe damage to its structure.

The Process of Demolition

The first step in any residential or commercial demolition project in Sydney is to ensure that all utilities have been disconnected from the building, including water and gas lines, electrical service and sewer lines (if present). Next comes removing anything that could cause damage or injury during the demolition process itself - like loose bricks or shingles that could fall off during demolition - as well as any hazardous materials such as asbestos insulation or lead paint chips on interior walls and ceilings that may pose health risks if disturbed during demolition work.
