Commercial Demolition Across Brisbane, Gold Coast & QLD
Licensed commercial demolition for offices, retail, mixed-use developments, hotels, schools and aged-care facilities across Brisbane, Gold Coast and Queensland — with the coordination that neighbouring tenancies, public safety, traffic management and heritage considerations demand.
Structural complexity, hazardous materials and live-site environments
Commercial demolition demands a higher level of coordination than residential work. Neighbouring tenancies, public safety, traffic management, heritage considerations, complex utility infrastructure and multi-stakeholder approvals all require experienced management.
We hold a Queensland Demolition Licence and QBCC registration, carry comprehensive public liability insurance, and have the experience to manage projects with structural complexity, hazardous materials and occupied-site environments.
Four core commercial capabilities
Full building demolition
Complete demolition of offices, retail, hospitality and community buildings — pre-demolition surveys, utility disconnections, council and WHSQ approvals, controlled demolition and site clearing.
Strip-out & selective demolition
Interior strip-outs and removal of non-structural walls, floors or sections to facilitate refurbishment or change of use, working to engineering drawings.
Façade retention
Where heritage or planning requires it, we demolish the structure behind a retained façade using careful propping design and staged execution.
Concurrent (live-site) demolition
Works adjacent to or within occupied buildings, with site-specific traffic management, hoarding, dust and noise plans and proactive neighbour communication.
The approvals and plans we prepare or coordinate
Development approval / permit
Required from the relevant local government authority before demolition.
WHSQ notification
Formal notification at least five business days prior to commencement.
Pre-demolition hazmat audit
Mandatory for all pre-2003 buildings, conducted by a competent person.
Asbestos removal plan
If ACM is identified, a licensed removalist must remove it before structural demolition. We hold an A-Class licence.
Traffic, dust & noise management
Traffic management where public roads or footpaths are affected, plus dust and noise compliance with council guidelines.
Waste management plan
Documentation of all waste streams including hazardous materials, with disposal manifests provided.
What drives commercial demolition cost
We provide detailed fixed-price quotes following a site inspection.
- Building size, height and structural type
- Presence and extent of hazardous materials
- Access constraints and traffic management
- Proximity to neighbouring buildings
- Post-demolition site preparation
- Program and staging requirements
Commercial demolition questions
Small commercial buildings can be demolished in a few days; larger buildings may require weeks to months. The overall project — survey, approvals, hazmat removal, demolition and clean-up — should be budgeted at six to twelve weeks minimum for most commercial projects.
