When the whole structure needs to go

Demolition is construction in reverse.

Full structural demolition is not about brute force. It requires planning, engineering, hazardous material management, and methodical execution. The demolition sequence, machine access, neighbour protection, services disconnection, and waste management all need to be planned before anything comes down.

METCON manages structural demolition as a proper construction project, with a plan, a sequence, and documentation. We handle permits, asbestos removal, services disconnection, the demolition itself, and site clearing, all under one contract.

Whether it's a residential home for a knock-down rebuild, a commercial building being cleared for redevelopment, or a structure that's reached end of life, we bring it down safely, clear the site, and hand it over ready for the next stage.

Structural Demolition
Is this you?

Six projects that need structural demolition

If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a free site visit. We will tell you straight what your site needs.

Knock-down rebuild requiring full home demolition

The existing home needs to come down completely, including foundations, for a new home to be built on the block.

Commercial building being cleared for redevelopment

Site cleared to ground level, services terminated, and the site prepared for new construction or sale.

Structure with widespread structural failure

When a building is unsafe and cannot be remediated economically, controlled demolition is the responsible solution.

Industrial building decommissioning

Factory, warehouse, or industrial building demolition with potential contamination assessment and remediation.

Fire or storm damaged structure

Structures damaged beyond repair need safe, controlled demolition with hazard assessment and insurance documentation.

Multi-storey building requiring staged demolition

Taller structures need top-down demolition, floor-by-floor, with specific machine access and engineering.

What our clients say

Rated 5.0 by Sydney clients.

5.0

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.
PSPriya Sharma North Sydney
I called three builders and METCON were the only ones who actually came to look at the site before quoting. Honest pricing, no surprises.
LCLisa Chen Randwick
We got three quotes. METCON was not the cheapest but was clearly the most thorough. Worth every dollar.

Structural Demolition FAQ

Common questions.

Straight answers from the builder. Anything else, just ask.

Do I need a permit for demolition work?

Yes, most demolition work in NSW requires approval. Internal strip-outs may be exempt in some cases, but partial and full demolition typically require a Development Application or Complying Development Certificate.

Additional requirements may include:

  • Asbestos surveys
  • Waste management plans
  • Notification to adjoining property owners

We handle all permits and compliance requirements.

Can you remove asbestos?

We coordinate licensed asbestos removal as part of our demolition and renovation services. All asbestos work is carried out by licensed removalists in line with SafeWork NSW regulations.

If your property was built before 1990, there is a chance it contains asbestos, so we always arrange appropriate testing before starting demolition or renovation work.

What is included in your quotes?

Every METCON quote is fully itemised and includes:

  • Scope of work
  • Materials and specifications
  • Labour costs
  • Excavation and site preparation
  • Drainage (where applicable)
  • Engineering fees
  • Council application fees
  • Project timeline and payment schedule

There are no hidden costs. What we quote is what you pay, unless you request changes to the scope.

What happens if something goes wrong during the build?

Construction can sometimes uncover unexpected issues, especially on older properties or difficult sites.

If we find something outside the original scope, such as hidden asbestos, unstable soil or structural defects, we tell you immediately, explain the options and give you a clear cost for any additional work before proceeding.

You are never hit with surprise bills.
