How Much Does Demolition Cost in Ipswich?
House demolition in Ipswich typically ranges from $12,000 to $50,000+, depending on your property’s size, construction type, and complexity. Most projects average $40-$100 per square metre, but your actual cost depends on several factors:
- Size & Materials – Timber Queenslanders cost less to demolish than brick or concrete structures (timber runs $40-60/m², brick/concrete $70-100/m²)
- Hazardous Materials – Asbestos testing and removal adds $3,000-$15,000+, depending on the extent.
- Site Accessibility – Narrow blocks or limited access increase equipment costs
- Additional Features – Pools, large trees, and underground services require specialised removal.
- Permit & Compliance – Ipswich City Council permits and inspections typically cost $500-$2,000

Frequently Asked Questions About Demolition in Ipswich
Yes, most demolition projects in Ipswich require a permit from Ipswich City Council. We handle all permit applications for you, including the required documentation, engineering assessments, and compliance certificates. The process typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on your property type.
Most residential demolitions take 2-5 days for the actual demolition work, plus additional time for permits and site preparation. Queenslanders and timber homes are usually faster (2-3 days), while brick or concrete structures take longer (4-5 days). We’ll give you an accurate timeline during your free assessment.
We conduct asbestos testing before demolition starts. If asbestos is present, we engage licensed asbestos removalists who safely remove and dispose of it according to WorkSafe Queensland regulations. You’ll receive clearance certificates confirming safe removal before any further demolition work proceeds.
Absolutely. We handle selective demolition for renovations – removing internal walls, bathrooms, kitchens, or specific sections while protecting the rest of your structure. This is common for Queensland renovations where you’re keeping the main structure but updating interior spaces.
We remove all debris from your site and dispose of it responsibly. Materials like timber, metal, and concrete are recycled wherever possible. Everything else goes to licensed waste facilities. You don’t need to arrange any waste removal – it’s all included in our service.
We coordinate all service disconnections with your utility providers. You’ll need to contact them to arrange final readings and disconnection dates, then we’ll ensure everything is safely capped or removed before demolition begins. We can guide you through the disconnection process.
