Ensure your demolition project runs smoothly with this essential checklist:
- Obtain a demolition permit
(also known as a building permit) from your local government authority. A demolition expert can organise this for you. Allow 21 days for this.
- Submit paperwork to your demolition expert.
They normally require a copy of the title, most recent council rates, site plans and consent to demolish.
- Remove gas and electricity.
It’s important these services are not just disconnected but demolished. This can be requested through your gas and electricity providers.
- Apply for tree removal permits.
Your demolition permit does not include the removal of trees and other vegetation.
- Organise temporary fencing.
To ensure public safety, it is council law to erect some sort of fencing to prevent access to the site.
- Identify what you might want to salvage from the site.
Some items such as building materials may come in handy later on, or you may wish to sell them – after all someone’s trash is often another person’s treasure.
