Thousands to Millions. Our usual contracts are for between €20,000 and €750,000.
A typical job would be carried out as follows:
  • The building/s and surrounding area is soft stripped of timber & salvageable items.
  • Where necessary, temporary shoring is designed, fabricated, and erected.
  • Hand demolition is then normally carried out using a combination of men on the ground and small machinery to remove debris.
  • For high buildings the upper levels would have to be demolished by hand using chutes running down to ground level.
  • The site is then isolated for large scale demolition using 20-30 ton machines.
  • All rubble the then carted away, and the site is cleaned up
