Perth single-storey demolition
Take the drama out of demolition with RD Demo Assist™—or ask us to quote every stage, from applications and asbestos through to disposal, site clearing and the next house pad.
*Qualifying brick-and-tile homes up to 180 m². Prepared-shell conditions and written scope apply. Cartage, disposal and add-ons are separate. Want everything handled? Full-service demolition is also available.
Choose the level of help you want
Both pathways start with a site check and a written scope. We make the responsibilities, exclusions and likely third-party costs clear before work begins.
For owner-builders, homeowners already signed with a builder, and anyone arranging demolition separately. Start with a prepared-shell machine package, then add only the preparation services you want us to handle.
Prefer one experienced team to coordinate the agreed demolition process? We scope the complete job around your property, risks, approvals, waste and required finish.
RD Demo Assist™
The $9,999 starting package is based on a qualifying single-storey house with a main building footprint of up to 180 m², delivered as an approved, machine-ready shell. You do not need to be an owner-builder. You can engage us directly before your chosen building company starts, prepare some items, use your own trades, or ask us to add and quote any preparation work you need.
We inspect the property, define the base machine work and prepare the agreed applications with your authorisation.
Tell us which preparation items you will arrange and which ones you want added to our written quote.
Once the shell passes the readiness check, our excavator completes the agreed hard demolition and load-out.
Measured to the outside of the main walls, including an attached garage. Detached structures, patios and verandahs are quoted separately.
For a qualifying home, ordinary roof tiles and the timber roof frame may remain for the machine demolition.
Accessible domestic concrete within the written allowance. Thick, heavily reinforced or excess concrete is quoted separately.
Why Demo Assist can save you money
Every home is different, but useful items can sometimes be kept for the new build, sold, donated or collected by an approved buyer before the demolition cutoff.
Sell useful items rather than paying to dispose of everything.
Fewer loose and mixed items can mean less expensive general-waste disposal.
We tell you what is suitable, what must stay untouched and when all salvage activity must stop.
If you arrange any preparation, it must be completed by competent and appropriately qualified or insured people where required. Asbestos, connected services, structural strip-out and roof work are never treated as casual DIY tasks.
If one or more of these items is not complete, ask us to quote it as an add-on. The base machine price is confirmed only after the property passes the agreed readiness inspection.
Need more help?
We can organise the complete preparation. The work is simply priced separately from the lean machine package so you only pay for what your property needs.
Kitchens, bathrooms, ceilings, plasterboard, fixtures, timber and loose contents.
Controlled removal and separation of metal roof sheets, plus associated safe-access requirements. Standard tiled roofing is included for qualifying homes.
Assessment, appropriately licensed removal, lawful disposal and required clearance evidence.
Utility coordination, physical trade disconnections, baiting, fencing and other agreed preliminaries.
Truck-and-dog or semi-tippers, recycling facilities and general-waste disposal on an agreed basis.

Get this checklist →This education supports planning; it does not authorise structural stripping or unsafe buyer-removal activity and does not replace council, utility, WorkSafe, licensed asbestos or engineering advice. All salvage and site access must follow the written scope and cutoff, and no mechanical demolition starts until the agreed evidence and controls are in place.

Your demolition readiness file
We help prepare the paperwork and keep the checklist simple. Having these items confirmed before mobilisation prevents delays, variations and avoidable truck or machine waiting time.
Owner details, signatures, site plan and the approved demolition scope are complete and current.
Required electricity, gas, water, sewer and communications disconnections are evidenced.
Suspect materials are assessed, required removal is complete and clearance evidence is available.
Approved salvage and buyer collection have stopped by the written cutoff and loose contents are cleared.
Access is clear and every fence, tree, slab, service or structure that must remain is physically identified.
Truck movements, recycling destinations, disposal approvals and the agreed load sequence are confirmed.
The excavator rake bucket has openings of approximately 75 mm, so small traces of demolition material may remain. This is a demolition handover—not a surveyed or certified building pad.
Where the next stage needs a finer surface, we can quote additional Bobcat work before Spartan Civil completes any required earthworks, compaction or house pad.
Full-Service Demolition
For owners and builders who do not want to manage separate preliminaries and suppliers, we prepare a property-specific scope for a single-storey home and coordinate the agreed demolition pathway from pre-start planning through site clearance.
We inspect the property, identify the required work and exclusions, plan the sequence and price the job around the real structure, access, hazards, waste streams and finish required.
Request a full-service quoteInclusions depend on the property and are confirmed in writing. Specialist and authority requirements remain subject to the applicable approvals and current licences.

Straight answers
Clear exclusions protect both sides. Every property is checked before a fixed machine price is issued.
No. The prepared-shell checklist defines what must be complete for the base Demo Assist price. You can arrange some items yourself and ask us to quote any—or all—of the remaining strip-out, roof, asbestos, services, trucks, disposal and site work.
No. Demo Assist is for owner-builders and for homeowners who have chosen a building company but are arranging the demolition separately. It is a flexible, itemised pathway: we complete the agreed paperwork and heavy demolition while you choose which preparation items to organise and which ones to add to our quote.
Yes. Ask the builder to identify the demolition amount, allowances, exclusions and handover standard in writing, then compare it with our scope on a like-for-like basis. Builder arrangements differ, so we do not assume a set markup; we show you what our price includes and what remains separate.
It generally means internal fit-out, ceiling lining, insulation and loose mixed waste are removed; metal roof sheeting is removed or added to our quote; asbestos and services are cleared; access, fencing and pre-start evidence are ready; and retained items are marked. A standard tiled roof and ordinary timber roof frame may remain where the property qualifies. The exact checklist is confirmed in writing.
For a qualifying property, the base scope can include up to 180 m² of main single-storey building footprint, measured to the outside of the main walls and including an attached garage, plus a standard tiled roof with ordinary timber framing and up to 60 m² of agreed accessible domestic driveway or external concrete. Detached buildings, patios, verandahs, excess concrete, thick or heavily reinforced slabs and unexpected footings are quoted separately.
Metal sheets generally need controlled removal and separation before the excavator processes the remaining structure. We can quote and complete that work, or the client may arrange an approved competent provider. A standard tiled roof and ordinary timber frame may remain for qualifying Demo Assist properties.
We can prepare and coordinate the agreed demolition permit and service-application pathway, including lodgement where the authority permits and the owner has provided the required authorisation. The client supplies accurate ownership documents, plans and signatures and pays council, utility, consultant and specialist fees unless the written quote states otherwise.
Yes. Full-Service Demolition is available for customers who want the agreed pre-start requirements, specialist providers, demolition, trucks, disposal and final site clearing coordinated as one property-specific scope.
It is a starting package, including GST, for a qualifying straightforward single-storey house with a main building footprint of up to 180 m², delivered in the agreed machine-ready condition. The written base price is confirmed after inspection. Larger homes remain welcome but require a separately assessed price. Any requested preparation, unexpected condition or additional machine scope is quoted separately before work where reasonably possible.
WorkSafe WA excludes total or partial demolition of a single-storey dwelling from Class 2 licensed demolition work. A local-government demolition permit, safe work planning and all applicable asbestos, service-disconnection and site-safety requirements still apply.
The services promoted on this website are for eligible single-storey homes and separately assessed single-storey partial or ancillary structures.
They are separate from the machine package and handled open-book. We can use the truck-and-dog where suitable and organise semi-tippers, then pass the agreed third-party truck and facility invoices through at cost with no markup. Disposal follows the receiving facility's actual measurement, classification and rate.
Where practical, clean brick and concrete are kept apart for C&D recycling, metal is recovered and reusable timber can be kept or sold. Only the mixed remainder goes to the more expensive general-waste stream. Contaminated or rejected loads cost extra.
Internal strip-out, metal-roof removal, asbestos work, utilities and pre-start requirements, trucks, disposal, trees, vegetation, detached garages and outbuildings, septic pump-outs and decommissioning, swimming-pool removal, excess concrete, unexpected footings, contaminated material, rock, restricted access and traffic control can all be assessed and quoted.
It must be marked on the site plan and physically identified before work. The pre-start handover records fences, walls, trees, services, slabs and other protected items.
Asbestos assessment, removal and disposal can be included in the property-specific quote. The material type, quantity and current licence requirements are checked first, and the applicable clearance evidence is required before demolition proceeds.
