Do I need a permit for demolition work in Melbourne?
For most demolition projects in Melbourne, you do need a permit. This ensures the work complies with local zoning laws and regulations. All Gone Demolition can assist you with securing the necessary permits before any demolition begins.
How does All Gone Demolition handle waste management and disposal?
All Gone Demolition provides waste management services as part of every demolition. We separate recyclables to ensure as little as possible goes to landfill. We make sure our demolition waste is disposed of responsibly, leaving a clean site and reducing negative environmental impact.
What is partial demolition, and when is it required?
Partial demolition involves removing only a section of a building or structure, rather than the entire property. Most extensions, renovations, or upgrades require some partial demolition. This could involve removing a wall, garage, or specific rooms such as the kitchen or bathroom, while keeping the rest of the structure intact. It may also involve maintaining the integrity of existing chimneys and heritage facades.
How do you ensure safety during a demolition project?
We prioritise safety by conducting thorough site assessments, developing site-specific Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS), and ensuring all team members use personal protective equipment (PPE). Our strict safety protocols comply with all relevant regulations to protect workers, clients, and the public.
What is a commercial strip-out, and how does it differ from demolition?
A commercial strip-out involves removing internal fixtures, fittings, and non-structural elements from a commercial space, such as offices or retail stores. This is often done to prepare for refurbishment or to meet end-of-lease obligations. The main structure of the building remains intact during a strip-out. This is unlike full demolition, where the outside structure of the building is demolished.
How does All Gone Demolition in Melbourne manage heritage-listed demolitions?
Melbourne is home to a significant number of heritage-listed buildings. All Gone Demolition takes extra care with heritage-listed demolitions and ensures compliance with the 2017 Heritage Act. We work closely with our Heritage Overlay clients and authorities to make sure we adhere to all internal and external alteration restrictions. Once demolition has begun, we work carefully to ensure protected areas are carefully preserved.
What is concrete grinding, and when is it needed?
Concrete grinding is the process of smoothing and levelling concrete surfaces using specialised equipment. It is often needed after demolition to prepare floors for new coverings or to remove residual adhesives and coatings.
Do you provide site clean-up after demolition?
Yes, All Gone Demolition provides extensive and thorough site clean-up after every demolition project. We ensure all waste is removed, the site is left spotless, and it is ready for the next phase of development or construction.
Can you remove hazardous materials like asbestos?
Yes, we’re equipped to safely identify and remove hazardous materials, including asbestos, as part of our demolition services. Our experienced team follows strict safety and environmental protocols to remove dangerous materials.
How long does a typical demolition project take?
The size and complexity of the structure, permit approvals, and any hazardous material removal required all impact how long a demolition will take. At the beginning of each project, we agree on a schedule with you and stick to it.
What are the costs involved in demolition services?
The size and structure of the building, location, waste disposal requirements, and any hazardous materials present are all factors that impact the price of our services. Additional costs may arise from permit requirements, site cleanup activities, and disposal of specific waste types. All Gone Demolition provides transparent, competitive quotes at the beginning of each project.
Do you recycle demolition waste?
Yes, All Gone Demolition is committed to sustainability and recycles as much demolition waste as possible. We separate out all recyclables from your demolition to minimise landfill use and environmental impact.
What are the key steps in preparing a property for demolition?
Before each demolition, our process includes ensuring the necessary permits have been obtained, conducting a thorough site assessment, identifying and removing hazardous materials, disconnecting utilities, and developing a detailed demolition and safety plan. All Gone Demolition guides clients through each step to ensure a smooth process and no unwanted surprises.
Can I stay on-site during the demolition process?
For safety reasons, it is generally not recommended for clients or occupants to remain on-site during demolition. All Gone Demolition enforces strict safety protocols and restricts site access to authorised personnel only during active demolition work. If your business is still operating, we work with you to ensure minimal disruption. This could include out-of-hours and evening work.
