demolition site with rubble

Expert support for safe, compliant demolition and refurbishment

We support demolition and refurbishment teams with specialist temporary works and monitoring. Whether you’re taking down or remodelling a structure, even amid close neighbouring buildings, we provide the knowledge and expertise to manage all temporary works requirements.

Safety first always
Using temporary works and implementing thorough monitoring throughout the demolition process is essential for maintaining safety, ensuring structural stability, and supporting efficient project delivery. These measures help identify potential risks early, allow for timely corrective actions, and ensure that all activities remain compliant with relevant regulations, industry standards, and project requirements.
Complex project solutions
Demolition provides engineers with technical challenges unlike any other form of engineering. It is one of the few remaining areas where design codes are not always directly applicable, making precision and experience essential. Many clients rely on our specialist temporary works solutions to reduce risk, simplify complexity, and speed up installation.
Considerate neighbour
Levels of noise, dust and vibration tend to be elevated on a demolition site, so can affect people that live and work in the surrounding area. Constant evaluation helps prevent your works exceeding noise, dust and vibration levels set out in Section 61.
