The standard demolition cost in Perth, WA, ranges between $25,000 to $35,000 depending on your demolition requirements and items you want salvaged.

Once the house is vacant, the demolition process can take up to 12 weeks. The demolition itself only takes a couple of days. Your Dale Alcock Homes Pre-Construction Coordinator will monitor the demolition process and be your point of contact throughout this stage.

You will need to vacate the home about 6-7 weeks before the actual demolition of the house – prior to Stage 1 of the process. So, if you need to organise termination of tenant occupancy and rental accommodation, you should start planning it about eight weeks out. This is also a good time to chat to your neighbours to make them aware of your demoing intentions and give them a broad outline of your building program.

The disconnection of services and abolishment of meters must be arranged by the you. You will need to notify Synergy (131 353) and Atco Gas (131 356) by phone approximately 7 days prior to vacating the home so the final meter reading can be done. If there is NBN on your premises, you will also need to arrange for an electrical contractor to roll it back after you have vacated the home.

During your demolish and build process you may wish to retain some items on your Perth property such as trees, bores, pools and retaining walls. Raise this with your New Homes Consultant early on so we know what needs to stay. We can then plan access routes and address any potential construction restraints.

Items such as cooktops, ovens, hot water units, air conditioners, cupboards, bathroom fixtures and fittings, lights, tapware and floorboards can all be salvaged – you can remove these items yourself or our demolition contractor can remove them for you at a cost. This does not include some structural items, so it’s best to discuss what items you want to keep before we start the demolition process. Raise this with your New Homes Consultant early on so we know exactly what you want to salvage.

If there is no existing power dome, we will arrange the ordering and installation of the dome once the site has been pegged by the surveyor following the demolition being completed. The demolition contract will identify the sewer junction with a marker when they disconnect the old service. Overhead power will also be disconnected by the Demolition Contractor (if applicable).

It will all depend on the Residential Planning Codes (R-Codes) of the area, and specifically your block. As R-Code specialists, we can consult with local councils and planning consultants on your behalf to work out what’s possible on your site and whether it will be impacted by future zoning changes. Our expert Development Consultants can tell you what your R-Code is and then what that means for you.
