Typical Timeline
The physical knockdown of a standard Sydney house can be 2–5 days, but the full process usually takes longer because of approvals, service disconnections and asbestos checks.
Main Stages
- Quote and site inspection/photos
- Approval/certifier pathway confirmed
- Service disconnections booked
- Asbestos check/removal if required
- Demolition and waste removal
- Slab/site scrape/excavation if included
- Clean handover to builder/client
What Slows Jobs Down
Asbestos, tight access, trees, neighbour controls, delayed utility disconnections, unclear scope and wet weather can all affect timing.
How to Speed It Up
Send photos, plans, address, access notes and asbestos reports early so the job can be scoped properly.
