Complete Site Demolition in Auckland
Blake Civil Construction provides site demolition Auckland property owners rely on for full building knockdowns and site clearance. From old residential houses to commercial buildings and industrial structures, we bring the building down safely and leave you with a clean, level site ready for your next project.
What is Complete Site Demolition in Auckland?
Complete site demolition involves taking a building down to ground level and clearing everything from the site — the structure itself, foundations, hard surfaces, services connections, and all associated debris. In Auckland, most buildings constructed before the mid-1990s contain some form of asbestos material, so every demolition project starts with a thorough asbestos survey before any machine touches the structure. We manage the full demolition process from consent through to clean pad handover, including waste separation and disposal at consented facilities.
- Full residential house demolition including weatherboard, brick, concrete block, and mixed-material homes
- Commercial building demolition for offices, retail, warehouses, and light industrial structures
- Pre-demolition asbestos surveys and coordination with licensed asbestos removalists
- Waste separation on-site — timber, concrete, steel, and general waste sorted for recycling
- Foundation removal and below-ground structure extraction
- Complete site clearance to a clean, level pad ready for earthworks or new construction
Based in Coatesville, Blake Civil Construction has demolished hundreds of buildings across Auckland — from single houses on suburban sections to multi-building commercial sites. Our operators run excavators fitted with demolition attachments daily, and because we are a civil construction company, your site goes straight from knockdown into earthworks and site preparation without waiting for another contractor.
When You Need Us
When You Need Complete Site Demolition in Auckland in Auckland
Old House Needs Replacing With a New Build
Your existing house has reached the end of its life and you want to knock it down and build new on the same site. We demolish the old house, manage any asbestos found in the cladding or roofing, remove foundations, and leave a clean pad for the new build.
Commercial Building Cleared for Redevelopment
A commercial property needs its existing buildings removed so the site can be redeveloped. We demolish the structures, sort and dispose of waste materials, and clear the site to bare ground ready for civil works.
Pre-1990s House With Suspected Asbestos
Your older Auckland home likely contains asbestos in the roofing, wall cladding, textured ceilings, or soffit linings. We arrange the asbestos survey first, coordinate licensed removal of all asbestos-containing materials, then proceed with the main demolition safely.
Clearing Multiple Structures on a Large Section
A rural or semi-rural property has several buildings — a house, sheds, garages, and outbuildings — that all need to come down before a subdivision or new development can begin. We demolish and clear each structure and leave the full site ready for earthworks.
Fire-Damaged or Structurally Unsafe Building
A building has been damaged by fire, storm, or structural failure and needs to be brought down safely. We assess the structural risks, plan a controlled demolition sequence, and remove the building without causing further damage to neighbouring properties.
Industrial Structure Removal
An industrial building with steel framing, concrete panels, or heavy structural elements needs dismantling. We use hydraulic shears, pulverisers, and sorting grabs to take the structure apart, separating steel and concrete for recycling.
Demolition Before Subdivision Earthworks
Existing buildings on a development site need to be removed before bulk earthworks begin on a new subdivision. We demolish and clear the buildings and then move straight into the earthworks programme with our own machines.
Removing Old Foundations and Below-Ground Structures
After the building above ground is gone, old concrete foundations, basement walls, and underground tanks still need to come out. We break up and extract below-ground structures so the site is fully cleared for new foundations.
Our Process
Our Complete Site Demolition in Auckland Process
Blake Civil Construction follows a systematic approach for every complete site demolition in auckland project.
Site Assessment and Asbestos Survey
We visit the site, assess the building type, structure, and access conditions, and arrange a qualified asbestos surveyor to inspect for asbestos-containing materials before any demolition work is planned.
Consent Application and Service Disconnections
We confirm what building consent and resource consent approvals are needed with Auckland Council, and coordinate disconnection of water, power, gas, and wastewater services with the relevant network providers.
Asbestos Removal (If Required)
If the asbestos survey identifies asbestos-containing materials, we coordinate licensed asbestos removalists to strip and dispose of all asbestos safely before the main demolition begins — meeting WorkSafe New Zealand requirements.
Controlled Demolition
Our operators bring the building down using excavators fitted with demolition attachments — hydraulic breakers, pulverisers, and sorting grabs. The demolition follows a planned sequence to manage dust, noise, and structural risks throughout.
Waste Separation and Disposal
Demolition materials are sorted on-site into timber, concrete, steel, and general waste. Recyclable materials go to approved recycling facilities and remaining waste is disposed of at consented waste disposal sites.
Site Clearance and Clean Pad Handover
We remove all debris, extract old foundations and below-ground structures, and grade the site to leave a clean, level pad. The site is handed over ready for earthworks, new foundations, or whatever comes next.

Why Choose Us
Why Choose Blake Civil for Complete Site Demolition in Auckland?
Full Asbestos Management
Every demolition starts with an asbestos survey. Many Auckland buildings built before the mid-1990s contain asbestos in roofing, cladding, textured ceilings, or pipe lagging. We coordinate licensed removal so the main demolition proceeds safely and meets all WorkSafe requirements.
Waste Separation and Recycling
We sort demolition waste on-site into timber, concrete, steel, and general waste streams. Recyclable materials go to approved facilities rather than landfill, reducing your disposal costs and keeping as much material as possible out of the ground.
Consent and Compliance Experience
Auckland Council building consent for demolition, resource consent for heritage or special character overlays, WorkSafe asbestos regulations, and HAIL site considerations — we work through the compliance requirements on every job so your project stays on the right side of the rules.
Demolition to Rebuild Under One Roof
As a civil construction company, we handle demolition and new build preparation as one continuous project. Your site goes straight from knockdown to earthworks and foundations — no waiting for a second contractor to mobilise.
Experienced Operators and Heavy Machinery
Our operators have years of hands-on demolition experience across residential houses, commercial buildings, and industrial structures. We run excavators fitted with hydraulic breakers, pulverisers, shears, and sorting grabs matched to each project.
Clean Pad Handover
Demolition does not stop at knocking down the building. We remove all debris, extract old foundations, strip remaining hard surfaces, and leave you with a cleared, graded site pad ready for the next stage of your build.
