Commercial Demolition

No, water access is actually needed during the demolition process for dust suppression. We’ll help you maintain water access while disconnecting other utilities. Our team will guide you through which services need to be disconnected and when.

Demolition involves several specialised methods, each suited to different project needs and commercial property site conditions.

• Selective Demolition: Also known as partial demolition services, involves removing specific sections or components of a building, such as walls, floors, or fixtures, while preserving the rest of the structure. This method is often used during renovations or when only part of a building needs to be removed.

• Structural demolition: Structural demolition refers to the complete dismantling of a building’s main framework or load-bearing elements. This removes the core structural components like beams, columns, and load-bearing walls, often using heavy machinery and precision cuts. It’s essential for total building removal or when major reconstruction is planned.

• Mechanical Demolition: Mechanical demolition uses heavy machinery like excavators and cranes to dismantle structures quickly and efficiently. It’s the go-to method for large-scale demolition projects where speed and power are required.

• Manual Demolition: Manual demolition uses hand tools and skilled labour to safely remove and take down parts of a structure. This method is common for smaller projects or areas where precision is necessary to avoid damaging nearby structures.

• Deconstruction: Deconstruction focuses on disassembling a building piece-by-piece to salvage valuable materials for reuse or recycling. It’s an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional demolition, reducing waste and supporting sustainable building practices.

Each demolition method is chosen based on the size, location, and specific requirements of the project to ensure safety, efficiency, and minimal disruption. If you’re unsure which approach suits your project best, our experts at Sellcon can guide you through the options.

Yes, at Sellcon, we can organise professional asbestos removal as part of our comprehensive commercial demolition solutions. We work with trusted and licensed subcontractors to ensure all removal is carried out safely and in full compliance with Queensland’s health and safety regulations.

There are several key factors that influence the overall cost of a commercial demolition project. These include:

• Building Size & Structure: Larger or more complex buildings naturally require more labour, equipment, and time, increasing costs. Multi-storey or reinforced concrete structures typically cost more to demolish than smaller, ground-level office spaces.

• Property Location: Accessibility plays a big role, too. Demolitions in tightly packed urban areas may require more planning, traffic control, and specialised equipment compared to open or rural sites.

• Construction Materials: Buildings constructed with heavy-duty or mixed materials like steel, brick, or reinforced concrete may require specialised equipment, which can increase the complexity and cost of demolition.

• Hazardous Materials: The presence of asbestos or other hazardous materials requires licensed professionals and strict compliance with safety regulations, adding to both cost and project duration.

• Demolition Method: Whether you need full mechanical demolition, selective demolition, or careful deconstruction, the approach will influence the overall budget. More detailed or labour-intensive methods typically cost more.

• Site Conditions: Slope, soil type, weather exposure, or proximity to neighbouring structures can affect logistics and safety measures, which may impact cost.

• Permit & Regulatory Fees: Council permits, waste disposal fees, and compliance with local Sunshine Coast regulations are also factored into the total cost.
