Do you need consent to demolish a house?

This usually depends on the structure and size of a house being demolished. But it is most likely that you will require consent before demolishing a house. It is important to know what consents are required in Australia before undertaking any work and a professional is best placed to advise.

How long does demolition take?

Usually demolishing a house is not a lengthy process. It will usually take less than a week - often between two to five days. A good contractor will ensure that this is done quickly, without compromising safety.

Is it compulsory to do asbestos testing before demolition?

It is possible that you will have to do asbestos testing before undertaking any demolition work. Have a look at the regulations in Australia before starting a demolition project.
