Frequently asked questions
How do I hire demolition labour in Sydney?
Post suburb, strip-out versus structural scope, start time, PPE and a written AUD band on Yakka Labour first. Keep the demolition contractor responsible for method, exclusions and licences. Confirm Fair Work.
Can general demolition labour remove asbestos?
No. Asbestos removal needs the correct licence class and a licensed removalist. Do not brief marketplace labour as asbestos removal. Say in the brief that asbestos is excluded unless a licensed removalist is already engaged.
Is strip-out the same as structural demolition?
No. Soft strip and rubbish handling are not structural demolition. Name the scope so you do not hire the wrong crew.
Do demolition sites need a White Card?
Commercial demolition and construction sites in Sydney generally expect a current White Card plus induction. Photograph it at the gate.
Does Yakka replace a demolition company?
No. Yakka fills extra labour. Methodology, exclusions and statutory licences stay with your demolition contractor.
