FINDING YOUR DEMOLITION SITE
Finding the demolition site that’s right for you can be time consuming, plus there’s the added hurdle that you may not always be exactly sure what to look out for in preparing to build your home on the site.
We offer a unique service to assist you in your search. Our in-house team has strong relationships with land and real estate agents, which can help you find what demolition sites are available in Perth. We can also give you guidance on particular sites and how certain factors might affect your home design and building costs such as block slope, required retaining, soil type and other factors.
A standard demolition is about $25,000*. One of the advantages of going through a company like Webb & Brown-Neaves for your demolition is that unexpected items like stumps are covered by a fixed rate demolition, whereas if you go direct there can be unexpected cost blowouts.

Yes, for a WB demolition, tree lopping, removal of trees and stump grinding is all part of the service. This may not be the case for other builders and demolition companies so be sure to ask.
Dust is kept to a minimum at all times with the site watered down whilst demolition is in progress.
It’s important to keep your neighbours onside, as generally you live side by side for the majority of your time in the new home. Our demolition partners liaise with the neighbours to ensure a smooth transition.
Unless otherwise requested, your property’s fencing will remain where it is. If it needs to be removed and it affects the neighbour’s property, a BA20A form will need to be completed with the approval of the neighbouring owners (we will let you know when this needs to happen).

At around $25,000*, a standard demolish and build (Perth) can actually be a more affordable option than buying another block. You save on paying a host of fees like stamp duty, taxes and site fees, and forego the expense and hassle of selling your existing home (agent fees, advertising, repairs etc.).
Unfortunately we are unable to re-use the existing footings as we build everything from the ground up to satisfy all engineering and quality requirements, which results in our excellent structural warranties and guarantees.
From the time you vacate your existing home, the demolition process generally takes about four to six weeks for completion. You will need to plan for temporary living arrangements from this period, right through the time it takes to build your new home.

As experts in demolish and build, we provide the complete solution by taking care of everything. You can expect a hassle-free, streamlined process, with no unexpected blowouts.
