    Demolition Specialists on Tasmania's Northwest Coast

    Our Story

    All Site Excavations & Davies Construction

    Luke Davies and Josh Bartlett run All Site Excavations in conjunction with Davies Construction — bringing demolition, excavation, and site clearing under the same roof as our building and construction services. It's a natural fit. Many of our demolition clients need a rebuild afterwards, and many of our building clients need something knocked down first.

    With a shared passion for land development and construction, Luke and Josh have built a proven demolition process that covers everything from house demolitions and commercial teardowns to concrete removal, asbestos coordination, and complete site clearing. Whether you need a house knocked down, a commercial building removed, concrete broken out, or a site cleared back to brownfield — we've got the team, the equipment, and the process to deliver it safely and efficiently across Tasmania's Northwest Coast.

    Our Expertise

    Demolition Services We Deliver

    From a single house demolition to a full commercial site strip — we bring the same methodical, safety-first approach to every demolition project on Tasmania's Northwest Coast.

    House Demolitions

    Complete residential house demolitions — weatherboard, brick, fibro, and mixed-construction homes. Whether it's a derelict property, a knock-down rebuild, or clearing for a subdivision, we'll take it from standing structure to clean site.

    Commercial & Industrial Demolitions

    Warehouses, offices, factories, sheds, retail premises, and industrial buildings. We have the equipment and experience to handle commercial-scale demolitions safely and efficiently across Tasmania's Northwest Coast.

    Concrete & Structure Removal

    Slabs, footings, retaining walls, driveways, paths, and other concrete or structural elements. Hydraulic breaking, excavation, and removal — whether it's part of a larger demolition or a standalone concrete removal job.

    Asbestos Coordination

    Asbestos must be removed before demolition can begin. We manage the entire process through our licensed partner, Statewide Asbestos — from testing and identification through to safe removal, disposal, and clearance certification.

    Site Clearing & Brownfield

    Complete site strip-back to clean earth — demolition, excavation, vegetation removal, and levelling. We hand over a certified brownfield site ready for new construction, subdivision, or sale.

    Fire & Storm Damage

    Emergency demolition of fire-damaged, storm-damaged, or structurally compromised buildings. We work with insurance companies and can provide the documentation and evidence needed for claims processing.

    How It Works

    Our Demolition Process

    Every demolition follows a structured process — from initial site assessment through to clean brownfield handover. No surprises, no shortcuts, and full compliance with Tasmanian regulations at every stage.

    01

    Site Assessment & Quote

    We visit your site, inspect the structure, identify any hazards including asbestos, assess access and logistics, and provide a clear, fixed-price demolition quote.

    02

    Permits & Planning

    We handle the council demolition permit, coordinate utility disconnections (power, water, gas, sewer), arrange neighbour notifications, and plan traffic management if required.

    03

    Hazardous Material Removal

    If asbestos or other hazardous materials are present, our licensed partner Statewide Asbestos removes and disposes of them before any demolition work begins.

    04

    Demolition & Excavation

    Controlled mechanical demolition using excavators and attachments suited to the structure. Materials are sorted on site — recyclable timber, metal, and concrete are separated for responsible disposal.

    05

    Clean Brownfield Handover

    The site is levelled, cleared of all debris, and left as a clean brownfield — ready for a new build, subdivision, landscaping, or sale. We provide completion documentation for your records.

    Common Questions

    Demolition FAQs

    How much does a house demolition cost in Tasmania?+
    House demolition costs in Tasmania typically range from $15,000 to $50,000 depending on the size of the structure, presence of asbestos, site access, and waste disposal requirements. Commercial and industrial demolitions vary more widely based on scale and complexity. We provide a fixed-price quote after a thorough site assessment — no hidden costs.
    Do I need a permit to demolish a house in Tasmania?+
    Yes. Most demolitions in Tasmania require a demolition permit from your local council, and you'll also need to arrange disconnection of all utilities (power, water, gas, sewer) before work begins. We handle the entire permit and approvals process as part of our service, including neighbour notifications and traffic management where required.
    What happens if there's asbestos in the building?+
    Asbestos must be identified and removed by a licensed asbestos removalist before any demolition work can begin — this is a legal requirement in Tasmania. We coordinate asbestos removal through our trusted partner Statewide Asbestos, who handle testing, removal, and disposal. We manage the entire process end-to-end so you don't have to.
    How long does a demolition take?+
    Most residential house demolitions take 1 to 2 weeks from start to clean site, depending on size and complexity. Add time for asbestos removal if required (typically 1–3 days) and the permit process (2–4 weeks lead time). Larger commercial or industrial demolitions may take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline during the quoting process.
    What happens to the demolition waste?+
    We sort materials on site wherever possible — timber, metal, concrete, and bricks are separated for recycling. Remaining waste is disposed of responsibly at licensed facilities in compliance with Tasmanian EPA regulations. We handle all waste removal as part of the demolition, leaving you with a clean brownfield site.
    Can you demolish a house that's been damaged by fire?+
    Yes. We handle fire-damaged and storm-damaged building demolitions, including structurally compromised buildings that require careful, controlled demolition. We can work with your insurance company and provide the documentation needed for claims.
    Do you do partial demolitions?+
    Yes — partial or selective demolition is common for renovation projects where an old section needs to come down before new construction begins. We carefully demolish the required sections while protecting and preserving the parts of the building that will remain. This is a service we frequently provide as part of our renovation and extension projects.
    What areas do you service for demolitions?+
    We service the entire Northwest Coast of Tasmania within approximately a one-hour radius of Sheffield. This includes Devonport, Ulverstone, Burnie, Latrobe, Port Sorell, Hawley Beach, Shearwater, Spreyton, Penguin, and surrounding areas. Contact us to confirm we cover your location.
