Demolition

Any demolition projects undertaken by RARE involve careful planning, precision, and a strong focus on safety.

We manage projects of all scales, from small structures to complex, multi-stage works, building safety, sustainability and compliance into every stage of our process.

Our team brings practical experience in demolition, remediation and hazardous materials management, allowing us to anticipate challenges before they arise. We deliver solutions that minimise disruption and maintain steady progress.

Under our demolition licence, we have demolished structures associated with telecommunications, fire-damaged houses and warehouses, clandestine laboratories, and fuel infrastructure and underground petroleum storage systems (UPSS) across coastal, industrial, and public infrastructure sites.

Projects have included integration with hazardous building material removal and chemical (fuel) management. Combining our environmental compliance and contaminated site remediation capabilities, we can manage complex demolition projects efficiently from start to finish.

Safe, compliant, and with sustainability in mind

We approach every project with a detailed understanding of environmental and WHS requirements. RARE’s integrated management system covers safety, health, environment and quality, ensuring all demolition activities are delivered to the highest standard.

Our focus on sustainable practices means we prioritise recycling, reuse and responsible waste handling wherever possible. By managing both demolition and remediation in-house, we streamline site preparation and reduce overall project time and cost.

Working with experience

Our experience across demolition, remediation and compliance means we understand how each discipline affects the next. That insight allows us to plan smarter, coordinate effectively and deliver cleaner outcomes for our clients.

RARE has supported projects for councils, civil contractors and developers, including demolition and remediation works within environmentally sensitive areas and high-traffic public spaces.

How else can we help?

RARE’s demolition capability connects directly with our hazardous materials, contaminated site remediation, and environmental compliance expertise. This allows us to manage complex projects end-to-end, minimising duplication,  as well as downtime and environmental risk.

We can also help with:
  • Site clearance, waste classification and disposal management
  • Asbestos and contaminated soil removal under controlled conditions
  • Validation sampling and documentation to confirm site readiness
  • Deconstruction and dismantling of infrastructure in sensitive environments
  • Coastal and civil works such as seawall stabilisation, earthworks and pavement removal

 

Our practical experience working with councils, contractors and developers means we understand site constraints, sequencing and stakeholder requirements. Clients of RARE trust us to deliver efficient, compliant and sustainable demolition outcomes.
