Demolition Checklist QLD

Essential Steps to Prepare for Demolition

1. Get Your Quote

Request a free demolition quote online or give Sellcon a call. We’ll send your quote straight to your inbox.

2. Review & Approve

Carefully read through your quote and terms. Sign the acceptance form and return it to us to get started.

3. Obtaining a Demolition Permit

Before any work begins, we obtain the necessary demolition permit on your behalf. As these permits can only be issued through a private certifier, our team will handle the entire process for you.

4. Disconnect Power

Arrange for your electricity to be fully disconnected. Inform your provider that it’s for demolition, as this process can take up to 20 business days, and sometimes longer during the summer months due to storm season.

5. Update Your Mail & Subscriptions

Redirect or cancel your mail, newspapers, and any regular deliveries. Allow a few days for changes to take effect.

6. Notify Your Neighbours

Let your neighbours know about your demolition plans. We’ll also keep them informed and answer any questions.

Once these steps are sorted, you can relax – Sellcon will handle the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? feel free to give us a call or reach out and we’d be happy to answer any questions you may have! here are some frequently asked questions to get you started.

Permit requirements vary depending on your project scope and location. Generally, you’ll need development approval from your local council, and potentially building permits for certain structures. Heritage-listed properties have additional requirements. We recommend consulting with your local council early in the planning process, and our team can assist with permit applications and ensure all regulatory requirements are met.

Most residential demolitions take between 1-3 days, depending on the house size, materials, and site access. However, the entire process from initial assessment to site cleanup typically spans 2-4 weeks when including permit approvals, utility disconnections, and preparation work. We provide detailed timelines during our initial site assessment.

We’re committed to sustainable practices and work to recycle as much material as possible. Concrete and masonry are typically crushed for reuse, metals are sent to recycling facilities, and timber may be salvaged or processed for biomass. Hazardous materials like asbestos are disposed of through licensed facilities following strict safety measures.

Yes, we coordinate all utility disconnections as part of our comprehensive service. This includes electricity, gas, water, telecommunications, and internet services. We work directly with utility companies to schedule disconnections at appropriate times and ensure all services are safely isolated before demolition begins.

We use water spray systems for dust suppression, temporary screening around work areas, and schedule noisy activities during appropriate hours. Our modern equipment is designed to minimise noise levels, and we continuously monitor air quality throughout the project. We also provide advance notice to neighbours about our work schedule.

Our comprehensive site assessment includes structural evaluation, hazardous material identification, utility location and assessment, access route planning, and environmental considerations. We also evaluate potential impacts on neighbouring properties and develop specific safety procedures for your site. This assessment forms the basis for our detailed project quote and timeline.
