Commercial & Industrial Demolition Contractors
Commercial & Industrial Demolition Contractors | South Australia
When a structure has reached the end of its life, what matters is how safely, cleanly and quickly it comes down, and what condition the site is left in for whatever comes next. Total Earthworx delivers accredited commercial and industrial demolition of single-storey structures across the Barossa Valley and regional South Australia, from partial strip-outs and shed removals through to full structural demolition on winery, industrial and commercial sites.
As civil contractors first, we don’t stop at knocking things down. We manage the whole sequence: demolition, material removal and recycling, concrete removal, and the earthworks that leave your site cleared, levelled and ready for redevelopment.
Our Demolition Services:
- Commercial Demolition
- Asbestos Demolition & Management
- Concrete Removal & Breaking
- Site Clearance & Make-Good
We work with you to come up with the very best solutions for your challenges!
01
Commercial Demolition
Structural demolition of single-storey commercial buildings, warehouses, sheds and winery infrastructure, planned around your site’s operations and delivered by experienced operators using the right machinery. For multi-storey structures, get in touch and we’ll point you to the right specialist.
02
Asbestos Demolition & Management
Demolition of structures containing asbestos needs to stay compliant from the first inspection through to the clearance certificate. Total Earthworx manages the full process, identification, safe removal and disposal, and coordination with
SafeWork SA asbestos licensing requirements, through our licensed asbestos removal partners, so it’s handled as one part of your demolition scope rather than a separate job you have to organise yourself.
03
Concrete Removal & Breaking
Removal of slabs, footings, driveways and hardstands using hydraulic breakers and our excavator fleet, with concrete carted for recycling wherever possible. Available as a standalone job or as part of a larger demolition.
04
Site Clearance & Make-Good
Complete post-demolition site works, material removal, backfilling, compaction and levelling, leaving a site that’s genuinely ready for the next stage, not just empty.

Demolition Backed by Civil Capability
Most demolition contractors demolish and leave. Because Total Earthworx is a civil construction and earthmoving contractor, demolition is usually the first stage of a bigger scope we can deliver end-to-end: demolition, then bulk earthworks, then pads, roads, drainage and retaining structures. One contractor, one point of responsibility, no gap between knock-down and rebuild.
Do You Need Approval to Demolish in SA?
In South Australia, demolition generally requires development approval before work begins, you can check what applies to your site via
PlanSA, and asbestos involvement adds further notification and licensing requirements. Heritage listings and main-street frontages can add further conditions. Most of our clients organise their own approval before we start; if you’d rather hand that off, we can manage the approvals process for you as part of the job.

FAQs
How much does commercial demolition cost?
Cost depends on the structure’s size and construction, asbestos presence, site access, salvage and recycling value, and what condition the site needs to be left in. We inspect before quoting and provide a fixed, itemised price, including the make-good works most demolition quotes leave out.
Do you handle asbestos?
Yes, through our licensed asbestos removal partners, coordinated as part of your demolition scope from identification through to compliant disposal and clearance.
What size structures can you demolish?
We demolish single-storey commercial, industrial and winery structures. For multi-storey buildings, talk to us and we’ll point you toward the right specialist partner.
What happens to the demolition material?
Concrete, steel and other materials are separated and recycled wherever possible, with the balance disposed of at licensed facilities. Recycling isn’t just responsible, it often reduces your disposal costs.
Can you demolish and then prepare the site for rebuilding?
Yes, that’s exactly where we’re different. As civil contractors, we take sites from demolition through bulk earthworks to build-ready pads, roads and drainage under one continuous scope.
