Demolition
BrizPlant demolishes houses, commercial buildings and industrial structures across Queensland, including the ones other contractors step around because asbestos is built through them.
With our own excavators, attachments and tipper fleet, demolition, asbestos controls and load-out run as one programme under one supervisor, with one contractor accountable instead of three.
From Industrial Sheds to Queenslanders
Every structure gets the same sequence, services proven dead, asbestos dealt with, then the machine goes to work.
Commercial & industrial buildings
Warehouses, sheds and commercial premises, staged around tenancies and live operations where required.Asbestos-integrated structures
Buildings where ACM is part of the fabric. Stripped first where intact, demolished under Class A controls where it is not.Slabs, footings & hardstand
Concrete broken, sized and carted off, or crushed for reuse where the material validates clean.Partial & internal strip-outs
Back-to-frame internal demolition and partial structure removals ahead of renovation or extension.Sheds, garages & outbuildings
Secondary structures, carports and super-six fencing, often bundled with a soil scope.Residential knockdowns
Houses, duplexes and unit blocks cleared for rebuild or sale, including highset Queenslanders with asbestos in every layer.How a Demolition Runs
Five stages, one contractor. The asbestos interface is where demolition jobs usually go wrong, here it is one contractor and one programme.
Book an assessmentScope & structural review
Walk the structure, confirm what it is made of, review the asbestos register or commission an inspection where there is none.Approvals & disconnections
Demolition approval sits with your certifier or council; we supply methodology and documentation, and coordinate power, water and comms disconnections.Asbestos strip or integrated controls
Intact ACM is removed first as a standard licensed removal. Degraded material shifts the job to demolition under Class A controls with suppression and containment.Mechanical demolition
The structure comes down under water suppression with exclusion zones held. Materials are separated at the machine, steel, timber, concrete, regulated waste.Load-out & site clear
Our own tippers cart as the machine loads. The site is handed back graded, clear and documented, with waste dockets in the pack.Demolition Done on the Record
The demolition itself is the easy part. What stands up afterwards is the paperwork around the asbestos, the waste and the neighbours.
Demolition FAQs
Asked on most commercial and industrial jobs.
Can you demolish a house that still has asbestos in it?
Yes, that is routine work for us. Intact material is stripped first under our removal licence; material too degraded to strip brings the whole demolition under Class A controls. Either way it is one programme, not a handover between contractors.
Who arranges demolition approval?
Building approval for demolition sits with a private certifier or council, normally arranged by the owner. We supply the methodology, insurances and licence documentation the application needs, and handle the WHSQ side ourselves.
What happens to the concrete and steel?
Steel goes to recycling. Concrete that validates clean is crushed and reused as fill where the site allows, or carted to a recycler, contaminated material travels as regulated waste instead. The waste split is priced up front.
