We handle demolition and excavation across Sydney. From internal strip-outs to full structural demolition and bulk earthworks, every job is planned, compliant, and leaves a clean site ready for the next stage.
Demolition is not just about knocking things down. It requires planning, hazard identification, council notifications, and careful execution to protect adjacent structures, services, and people on site. We manage the full process, from asbestos identification to waste disposal.
Each type of demolition and excavation has its own requirements, hazards, and compliance obligations. We cover the full range.
Removal of walls, ceilings, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, and fixtures. Careful work around retained structure with full waste segregation and dust control.

Book a free site visitBefore we touch a building, we complete hazard assessments, prepare Safe Work Method Statements, coordinate service disconnections, and lodge council notifications. Asbestos surveys are conducted on every pre-2000 building. We manage compliance so the project starts clean and stays clean.
Planned. Compliant. Clean handover.
Four disciplined stages. Every milestone documented, every handoff signed.
We inspect the site, identify hazards including asbestos, assess structural conditions, and review access and logistics requirements.
SWMS preparation, council notifications, service disconnections, asbestos removal coordination, and demolition methodology planning.
Controlled execution by experienced operators. Adjacent structures protected, dust suppressed, noise managed, waste segregated throughout.
Site cleared, levelled, and ready for the next construction phase. Waste disposed of to licensed facilities. Compliance documentation provided.
A family builder with the licences, insurance and engineering discipline to do the job properly.
Fully licensed NSW demolition contractor (AD214430) and licensed builder (384697C). We handle compliance from start to finish.
Every project follows SafeWork NSW codes of practice. Safe Work Method Statements, site safety plans, and hazard controls are standard on every job.
We identify and manage asbestos-containing materials in pre-2000 buildings. Licensed asbestos removalists handle all removal, transport, and certified disposal.
We do not leave a mess. Sites are cleared, levelled, and ready for the next trade. Waste is segregated, recycled where possible, and disposed of to licensed facilities.

Real reviews from homeowners, strata and builders.
We're a strata block and needed a retaining wall replaced urgently. METCON moved fast, communicated well, and the residents are very happy.
I called three builders and METCON were the only ones who actually came to look at the site before quoting. Honest pricing, no surprises.
We got three quotes. METCON was not the cheapest but was clearly the most thorough. Worth every dollar.
Common questions about demolition, excavation, asbestos, and site preparation across Sydney and NSW.
Demolition costs depend on building size, material type, asbestos presence, access, and disposal requirements. As a guide: an internal strip-out of a single room typically starts around $3,000 to $8,000; full house demolition in Sydney ranges from $15,000 to $50,000+ depending on size and asbestos; commercial demolition is priced per project. We provide a detailed written quote after a site inspection.
In most cases, yes. Full structural demolition in NSW requires council notification at minimum, and in most cases a Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC). Internal strip-outs that do not affect the building envelope or structure may be exempt. We manage the full approval process.
All pre-2000 buildings in Sydney should be inspected for asbestos before any demolition work begins. If asbestos is found, it must be removed by a licensed asbestos removalist before general demolition can proceed. We coordinate the testing, engage licensed removalists, and ensure all disposal is to certified facilities with proper tracking documentation.
A standard residential demolition in Sydney typically takes 1 to 2 weeks once approvals and asbestos removal are complete. Larger buildings, difficult access, and contaminated sites can take longer. The approvals and asbestos removal phase typically adds 2 to 6 weeks before demolition begins.
Yes. We handle both demolition and excavation, which is advantageous because the same crew, equipment, and site management is already in place. Excavation for footings, slabs, pools, basements, retaining walls, and bulk earthworks is all within our scope.
We segregate waste on site into concrete, timber, metal, plaster, and general waste. Recyclable materials are processed at licensed recycling facilities. Non-recyclable waste goes to licensed landfill. Asbestos waste is transported separately and disposed of at licensed asbestos disposal facilities with full tracking documentation.
