House Demolition · Richmond, Inner Melbourne
Weatherboard knock-down in Richmond — ready for rebuild in 6 days
A tight inner-city block with restricted access, overhead powerlines and a heritage terrace next door — cleared, backfilled and slab-ready in under a week.
The challenge
The homeowner had three quotes ranging from $22,000 to $41,000 for the same single-storey weatherboard demolition. Access was 3.2m wide, asbestos was suspected in the eaves, and the neighbouring terrace required protection under the party wall.
How we helped
We matched the project with two licensed Inner-Melbourne demolition contractors experienced in tight-access Richmond blocks. Both re-scoped in person, confirmed asbestos, priced disposal transparently, and quoted salvage credit on the timber flooring.
The outcome
The homeowner accepted a $24,900 fixed-price quote — $16,100 less than the highest original quote — with asbestos removal, service disconnections and site clean included. Site was slab-ready in 6 working days.
“We were about to sign the $41k quote. Comparing here saved us the deposit on our new build.”
