Demolition, Excavation, and Digging · Bendigo
Safe breaking out and removal of old slabs, paths, driveways and structures.
Who we are
Concrete demolition is the safe, controlled breaking down of slabs, walls, footings and structures that are no longer needed or no longer safe. Our team handles demolition for driveways, patios, pool surrounds, garage floors, foundations and commercial slabs, large and small. We choose the right equipment for each job, from hand tools and breakers in tight spaces to excavator-mounted attachments for bigger structures. Safety is built into every step, including checking for underground services, protecting nearby structures and managing dust, noise and vibration. Careful planning means your neighbours, landscaping and surrounding property are protected while the old concrete comes out. We can also arrange removal of the debris and prepare the area for your next stage, whether that is new concrete, paving, landscaping or building. Contact us today to discuss your demolition project, book a site visit and request a quote.

Typical figures
Demolition needs a plan for equipment access, services, dust and where the material goes. Reinforced or thick slabs take heavier machinery.
Demolition cost depends on thickness, reinforcement, access and disposal. Make sure removal is included in the scope. See concrete removal and concrete cutting for related stages.
The right method depends on the fault or job.
The machine is chosen to fit the access.
Underground services are located first.
Typical industry ranges for planning only. Your site and design may need different figures.
From first visit to handover
A typical concrete demolition job moves through four stages. Timing depends on size, weather and access.
Demolition begins with locating services and setting access, then marking cut lines and breaking out in manageable sections. Material is loaded and removed, and the base is inspected and prepared for the next stage.
Underground services are located before concrete demolition begins. Dial Before You Dig and any site plans are the starting point.
Machine size, gate width, ground protection and where the spoil or broken concrete goes are agreed in advance.
The area is dug, broken out or cut to the required levels and depths, with safe edges and dust and noise controlled.
The site is cleared and left ready for the next stage, whether that is a new slab, drainage or landscaping.
Make the right call
Not every property suits concrete demolition equally. A quick check before you commit saves money and rework.
Typical situations where concrete demolition makes sense include old slabs and driveways, whole structures and preparing for new work. It deserves a second look when dust and noise or when reinforced slabs take longer. If you are unsure which side your property falls on, describe the site in your enquiry, add a few photos and the right approach can be recommended before any work is priced.

A durable concrete demolition result depends on decisions made before the visible work is finished. These are the issues to put into the scope, not leave to chance.
Across concrete demolition projects the same slip-ups come up again and again: not locating services, narrow access and no disposal plan. None of them is difficult to avoid when it is raised at the quoting stage, so put the answers in writing and ask how each risk will be checked and controlled on your own site.
This can compromise concrete demolition before the finished work has had a fair chance to perform. Why it matters: Pipes and cables get hit. The written scope should explain how that risk will be checked and controlled.
Recommended approachLocate pipes, cables and drains before breaking.

Concrete Demolition questions
Practical answers to help you plan your next step.
Have a project in mind?The scope is shaped by services, access, disposal. A useful quote identifies methods (Break, saw, crush is a typical planning reference), preparation, access and exclusions instead of relying on a headline rate.
Old slabs and driveways is a common use for this service. Demolition needs a plan for equipment access, services, dust and where the material goes. Reinforced or thick slabs take heavier machinery. One point to assess early is that dust and noise.
Start with services: Locate pipes, cables and drains before breaking. Also confirm machine, access, drainage or levels, and the finish expected at handover.
Pipes and cables get hit. Put the requirement in the written scope, discuss how it will be checked before work proceeds, and make sure the proposed method suits the way the finished area will be used.
Access, underground services, spoil removal and changing ground conditions shape concrete demolition around Bendigo. Photos help initially, but machine access and ground conditions usually need to be confirmed on site. Programme also depends on project size, site access and material or equipment availability, so confirm timing after the site and scope are understood.
