We plan, engineer, and execute partial demolition across Sydney. Selective wall removal, section demolition, and structural modifications. Controlled precision — not a wrecking ball.
Partial demolition is harder than knocking everything down. You're removing specific elements while keeping the rest of the building standing, safe, and undamaged. Load-bearing walls, shared party walls, upper floors above, and live services all need to be considered before a single hit is taken.
METCON coordinates partial demolition with structural engineers. We assess what's load-bearing, design temporary support, plan the demolition sequence, and execute with precision. The structure you're keeping stays safe throughout.
Whether it's removing a wall for an open-plan layout, taking out a section of building for an extension, or demolishing one part of a structure while the rest stays occupied — we plan the engineering first, then execute the demolition.
Every partial demolition follows our structured five-step process. The engineering comes first — the demolition follows the plan exactly.
We inspect the structure, identify load paths, locate services, and determine what's load-bearing versus non-structural. This drives every decision that follows.
Structural engineer designs the demolition sequence, temporary support, and permanent modifications. Nothing is removed without an engineered plan.
Safety plan, dust and vibration management, neighbour notifications, and construction staging developed. Permits and approvals obtained.
Demolition executed per the engineer's sequence. Temporary supports installed before removal, structural elements protected, and work documented at hold points.
New beams, lintels, or connections installed as designed. Temporary supports removed per engineer's instruction. Structure certified safe and stable.
Structural engineering, demolition documentation, photographic records, and engineer certification. Everything needed for the next stage of your project.
Photos of what you want removed, existing plans if you have them, and a note on the broader project context. We'll assess the structural implications and come back with an approach and price.
