What should a New Zealand demolition quote include?
Survey, removal of hazardous material, soft strip, structural demolition and disposal each go on their own line, with 15% GST alongside your NZBN and IRD GST number. Disposal is the line clients underestimate: waste is charged by weight and by type, and sorting on site to divert clean fill and metal changes the number materially. State what is being retained and protected — a shared wall, a neighbouring fence, services that must stay live — and say who disconnects power, gas and water, because a demolition that starts before a disconnection is confirmed is the one that makes the news. Include reinstatement and making the remaining structure weathertight if the job is partial.
What are the asbestos rules for demolition in New Zealand?
You are expected to know what is in the building before you disturb it. For work on a building of an age where asbestos is plausible, that means an asbestos survey and a report identifying what is present and where. Removal is then licensed work: friable asbestos requires the higher licence class, and removing more than a small area of non-friable material requires a licensed removalist, with notification to WorkSafe before the work starts. None of that is absorbed into a demolition rate — the survey is line one and the removal is line two, before anything comes down. It is also why a roofer’s quote excludes asbestos and sends it to a licensed contractor: that contractor is this trade.
Does the AI know New Zealand demolition pricing?
Yes. Quotes are priced in NZD against current New Zealand rates — asbestos surveys and licensed removal, soft strip of linings and fixtures, structural demolition, propping and making weathertight, and bins, cartage and disposal by waste type — with 15% GST applied rather than Australia’s 10%. Disposal is priced as sorted streams rather than as one skip, because that is how New Zealand transfer stations charge and where the margin on a demolition quote is won or lost.
Does demolition need a building consent in New Zealand?
Often, and it depends on what is coming down rather than on the fact that it is demolition. Full or partial demolition of a building can require a building consent, particularly where the work affects structure, fire separation between units, or the weathertightness of what remains, and there may be resource consent considerations as well if the building is scheduled or in a heritage area. Confirm the position with the council before pricing, and put consent and inspections on the quote as their own lines. On a partial demolition also price making the remaining building weathertight as real work, because that is what turns a demolition into a job the client can live in afterwards.
