Marrickville, Ashfield, Canterbury, Campsie and the surrounding federation belt
Inner west & Canterbury
The inner west's demolition work is defined by age and proximity. Federation and interwar housing carries asbestos in predictable and unpredictable places, blocks are narrow, rear access is rare, and neighbours live an arm's length from the work. Heritage conservation areas across the district mean many projects are partial rather than total: rears removed, fronts retained.

What Level 2 work looks like here
Narrow frontages frequently rule out large excavators, pushing method toward smaller plant, longer programs and street-side loading under traffic control.
Heritage conservation controls make facade retention and partial scopes common, with propping and protection engineering to match.
Party wall and near-boundary conditions demand dilapidation reports on neighbouring dwellings before work starts.
Vibrant main-street surroundings mean councils condition work hours and truck routes tightly, and those conditions shape the program.

Demolition work in NSW is licensed by SafeWork NSW in classes reflecting the scale and risk of the work, and asbestos removal requires its own Class A or Class B licence depending on the material. Ask any demolition provider for their licence class and number, confirm it matches the scope of your job, and verify it through SafeWork's public verification channels before signing anything.
