Sound Familiar?
You started this for more time, more money, less stress. Here's what you actually got.
You Are the Business
Asbestos assessment is mandatory. Hazmat removal is expensive and slow. Every demolition job has hidden unknowns. You're quoting blind, then discovering surprises that kill margin.
The Money's There But It's Not Yours
Waste management regulations keep changing. Soil, brick, timber, metal separation is now required. You're managing multiple waste streams and disposal costs. Margins compress with every regulation change.
The Busy Trap
Permitting and council approvals take time and expertise. You're managing council departments, environmental assessments, and contamination reports. Every delay costs you in crew downtime.
Staff Headaches Without a Playbook
Contamination liability is your responsibility after demolition. Leftover hazardous materials, underground tanks, buried waste come back to haunt you months later.
