No matter what the size of your demolition job is, you should consider using professionals that will recycle whatever materials possible and sell them as second-hand building materials.  This is good environmental practice and will help to save you money.  Remember that waste disposal is expensive – you will need to factor in the cost of rubbish removal, tip trucks and tip fees. 

Engaging the services of other professionals is needed if asbestos removal is involved or if the footings of the home are to be removed.  Asbestos or fibro sheeting removal needs to be done by a specialist, as extra safety precautions must be implemented.  Removing the footings of your home can severely affect the structural integrity of the ground for future projects and it is for this reason that you should consult with an engineer or building consultant before deciding anything.  Bear in mind that removing services and footings will leave holes that need to be filled and the cost of the fill may be high.
