Edwardian Knockdown Rebuild

The brief: full knockdown of a 1920s Edwardian weatherboard cottage with significant asbestos throughout — fibro sheeting in the bathroom, eaves, and the rear sleepout. Site cleared and levelled ready for the rebuild crew. The challenge: two protected mature elms on the boundary that the client wanted retained. We coordinated tree protection zones with the council arborist before any heavy machinery moved. Class A asbestos removal handled in-house with a licensed assessor and proper containment. Full slab break-up and removal completed, site levelled to engineer’s specification ready for slab pour.
