Pool, Shed & Partial Demolition on the Sunshine Coast

Pool removal

A concrete or fibreglass pool can be broken up and carted away, or sometimes partly broken up and filled, depending on what you plan to do with the yard. If you want to build there later, tell the contractor before they quote, as a future slab has very different needs to a lawn. Access is the main thing that changes the job. A narrow side path may mean a small machine and more trips.

Sheds, garages and carports

Older sheds and garages on the coast can have fibro walls or a corrugated asbestos roof, so have that checked first. Steel sheds may only need the frame unbolted, with the slab cut out if you want it gone.

Part of a house

Removing an extension, verandah or a section of a home takes more care, because what remains has to stay sound and weather tight. Sunshine Coast Council lists part demolition as work needing a permit, so talk to a certifier and, where structure is involved, an engineer.

Getting rid of the material

Sunshine Coast Council lists Buderim, Caloundra and Nambour among its sites taking concrete and bricks. Your contractor will tell you where material from your job is going. Check the council website for current site rules if you are carting anything yourself.
