Inner north
Tight-access demolition in the inner north
Inner north demolition is access with a house attached. Brunswick laneways, Fitzroy side setbacks, Preston tram-side streets. A 20-tonne excavator is not coming down a 2.4 metre drive. That is not a problem. It is the specification.
Measure the hole we have to fit through
Crossover width. Side gate. Overhead wires. Trees. The neighbour’s eaves. A photo from the street and one down the side beats a long email. If we need a compact machine and more hand work, the day count grows. The quote should say so, not hide it in a number that looks like a Werribee estate job.
Parking, trams and the neighbour
Sydney Road, High Street, Plenty Road — truck timing is the job. We cannot stack a tram route because it is convenient. Permits for occupying the street, if needed, sit in the programme. Next door at one metre means sheeting, a conversation, and hours the permit allows. Inner north neighbours are entitled to that. So are we — it keeps the job on the rails.
Old fabric
These suburbs are full of pre-1990 houses. Asbestos, shared walls, and additions built without a drawing are normal. Tight access plus hazardous materials is why inner-north knockdowns are not the cheap end of the range. Read the asbestos guide before you book anything. Rock Solid is based in Melton; jobs outside Melbourne's west are quoted with travel.
Quick answers
The short version, if you skipped the scan.
Can you still do it if a truck cannot get in?
Usually. Smaller plant, more loads, longer day. We will tell you on the visit if the site is actually impossible rather than just awkward.
