About this trade

Demolition on AnyTradie

What to expect when you brief this category — scope is always confirmed by the matched provider.

Strip-outs and selective demolition

Kitchen, bathroom or tenancy strip-outs need clear boundaries — what stays, what goes, and whether services must be capped. Provide floor plans or marked photos where possible.

Structures, sheds and pools

External demolitions depend on access for machinery, neighbour interfaces and disposal method. Note driveway width, overhead wires and whether the pool is in-ground or above-ground.

Approvals, hazards and waste

Larger demolitions may require council processes, service disconnections and hazardous-material checks. Mention any known asbestos, or request an asbestos survey brief if the building age suggests risk.

What happens next

Structure → survey → permit → strip

Demolition briefs need structure type and known hazards. Routing considers scale; the demolisher confirms survey, approvals path and quote.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Straight answers about briefing demolition through AnyTradie — without invented prices or ETAs.

Start a brief
Do I need a permit for demolition?

Requirements vary by council and job size. The matched contractor should advise what approvals apply after reviewing the scope and location.

What about asbestos?

Suspect materials need licensed assessment and removal pathways. Start an asbestos brief or ask the demolition provider to coordinate testing before destructive work.

Is waste removal included?

Often quoted as part of the package, but confirm skip sizes, tip fees and recycling in the provider quote.

Can you demolish just a pool?

Yes as a common category. Note construction type, fill preference and whether fencing must remain compliant during works.

How do neighbours get notified?

Notification duties depend on the approval pathway and site conditions. Discuss neighbour interfaces with the matched contractor.
