Typical range: $18,000–$26,000. Fibro is light to demolish but expensive to dispose of as asbestos waste — the disposal cost is the main driver. See fibro home demolition.
Typical range: $20,000–$30,000. Brick is heavier but disposal is cheaper than asbestos. Foundations and any concrete slab add extra. See double-brick demolition.
Typical range: $30,000–$55,000+. Time on site, additional bin loads and structural complexity increase the price.
Pool removal $4,500–$9,000. Bulk excavation post-demolition $90–$140/hr machine + truck. Contaminated soil disposal varies. Tree removal and crossover repair quoted separately if needed.
