This Guide will assist those considering house demolition Werribee costs. We will select a property from Realestate.com and use the Bayside Demolition Cost Calculator to determine the demolition cost.
The house we will be looking at is 36 Bernhardt Avenue, Hoppers Crossing, Vic 3029. It is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house on a 604m2 Block. The house is still in good condition, but with its large block and convenient location, it would be ideal for the development or construction of a modern dream home.
Using the 12 questions asked by the Bayside Demolition cost calculator, we will now determine the cost of the House Demolition for this house in Werribee.
- 1. Postcode – Since we are looking at house demolition cost Werribee, this is easy. Enter 3029 into the cost calculator.
- 2. House Size – Using the Google Earth Polygon tool, we can measure the outlines of the house. The house to be demolished is 215m2

- 3 Wall Structure – We can see the walls outside are brick. It appears the inside walls are timber, so we will use this option (when using the cost calculator, it may pay to run multiple scenarios if you’re unsure).
- 4. Roof Material – Using Google Earth or realestate.com, we can see that the roof is tiled.
- 5. Main Foundations – Looking at the style of the house, it looks like it could be either stumps of concrete, most likely a mix of both; on this one, we will select slab and stumps.
- 6. Year Built – This can be a little tricky; sometimes, with sale history, you can see the year the house was first sold; sometimes, the year will be mentioned in the description on realestate.com. The year’s spans are pretty wide on the cost calculator. Since the demolition cost calculator will only produce an estimate, being one bracket out will still give you a good cost guide. This house could fall into either bracket, but we will select 1895-1960. The older the house, the higher the cost, so we are selecting the hire option to ensure we don’t underestimate our demolition costs.
- Question 7. Does it contain asbestos? – It is difficult to tell if a house contains asbestos at this age without testing. However, it is unlikely that the house contains asbestos outside of the eaves, so we will select the eaves.
- Question 8. Area of the yard to be cleared? – For this question, we will go back to Google Earth. We can see that a new building requires a maximum of 355m2 of clearing. However, there is mostly just grass and concrete driveways to be cleared. We will select garden to remain.
- Question 9. What is in the yard? We will choose a few footpaths here. However, yard clearing is the most difficult cost to assume; we highly recommend you run a few options through this. Be wary of large trees, as they can add substantial cost. As we have selected the remaining garden, this option will not affect the cost.
- Question 10. Main building materials of the shed? – What we can see form realestate.com images the shed is made of brick.
- Question 11. Shed size – Looking at the shed size, we can see the shed is 40m2.
- Question 12. Vehicle access – For this question, we can see the driveway is wide, and the street is accessible by heavy vehicles. However, we can see a powerline over the driveway when using Google Street View. However, in this case, it should not inhibit access, so we will select – Very good large access.
