Garage demolition is one of the more straightforward jobs TBT Earthworks undertakes - but "straightforward" does not mean unplanned. Even a simple garage removal requires checking for asbestos-containing materials (particularly older fibrolite garages), proper waste separation and disposal, and concrete foundation removal down to the required depth if the site is being redeveloped.
This Christchurch job involved full removal of both the timber superstructure and the concrete foundation below - leaving the site clear and level for whatever comes next, whether that is a new garage, an addition to the main dwelling, or more landscaping space.
What Gets Removed in a Full Demolition
A full garage demolition typically covers: the timber frame and roofing, cladding and linings (with any asbestos-containing materials separated and handled appropriately), and the concrete floor slab and its supporting ground beams. TBT removes all of it and leaves the site in a clean, workable state - not just the structure above ground.
