What We Deliver
Demolition, Planned Properly
Grana Works provides structured demolition, civil works and excavation for commercial, industrial, residential and infrastructure sites across Greater Sydney and surrounding areas. We organise demolition with a focus on safe sequencing and clear communication. No shortcuts.
From single-structure demolitions to staged civil deconstruction on active sites, followed by excavation and earthworks to engineer specification, we organise the planning, communication and paperwork discussions project managers and developers need to keep programmes on track.

Excavation & Earthworks
After demolition, or as a standalone package, we deliver precision excavation and earthworks for civil infrastructure, residential subdivision, commercial development and industrial site preparation. Operators work directly from engineer specifications and coordinate with project managers to keep the programme on track.
Where accuracy is critical, cut-and-fill earthworks are planned and checked against the design levels in your drawings, to keep rework down and the programme on schedule.
- Bulk earthworks and cut-and-fill for subdivisions and civil sites
- Trenching for drainage, services and underground infrastructure
- Building pad preparation and subgrade compaction
- Rock breaking and hard material excavation
- Grading and level work to the design levels in your drawings
- Retaining wall excavation and battered batters
- Swale and drainage formation
- Site clearing, topsoil stripping and grubbing
- Waste classification and correct spoil disposal
Equipment
We arrange excavators from compact 3t machines to 30t-class plant, plus graders, dozers and compaction equipment, through trusted specialist partners. Plant is matched to site access and scope.
Where utilities are present or suspected, services are verified first with non-destructive digging before mechanical plant digs inside risk zones. We can run NDD and excavation as a single programme.
Paperwork and Documents
Tell us the paperwork your project needs, such as method statements, hazardous material information and waste records, and we will confirm what can be provided before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if there may be hazardous materials? +
Where hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead paint or PCBs are suspected, an assessment should be completed before demolition starts. We coordinate this through specialist partners and the work waits until the assessment is done.
Can you work on a live active site? +
Yes. We regularly carry out staged demolition and excavation on live and active sites, with traffic management plans, exclusion zones and sequencing plans so ongoing site operations are not disrupted.
How quickly can you mobilise? +
Timing depends on scope, approvals and site access. Send your site address and scope on WhatsApp and we will confirm a realistic start.
Do I need a Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC) for demolition in NSW? +
It depends on the building type, zoning, heritage status and whether the work is part of a broader development. Many straightforward demolitions can proceed under a CDC if criteria are met; others need a full DA through your local council. We can outline typical pathways, but final approval advice should come from your planner or certifier. See our guide on
DA vs CDC for demolition in NSW.
What paperwork can I ask for on a demolition job? +
Tell us the paperwork your project needs, such as method statements, hazardous material information and waste records, and we will confirm what can be provided before you commit.
Do you work from engineer drawings for excavation? +
Yes. We work directly from civil engineer drawings and survey data. Cut-and-fill earthworks are set out and checked against the design levels in your drawings.
Do you dispose of spoil from excavations? +
Yes. We arrange classification of excavated material and disposal at suitably licensed facilities. Clean fill can also be arranged if your site needs it.
What size excavators and plant can you supply? +
We arrange excavators from compact 3t machines to 30t-class plant, plus graders, dozers and compaction equipment, through trusted specialist partners. Exact plant is matched to site access and scope.
Do I need NDD before mechanical excavation near utilities? +
Where utilities are present or suspected, non-destructive digging (hydrovac) should be used to verify services before mechanical plant digs within risk zones. We can coordinate NDD and excavation as a single programme.
Which areas do you cover for demolition and excavation? +
All of Greater Sydney and surrounding areas, including Macarthur, Western Sydney, the Hills District, the Central Coast, the Blue Mountains and the Illawarra, from our Smeaton Grange base. Send your site location and we will confirm mobilisation timeframes.
Who carries out the demolition work? +
Grana Works organises and manages demolition and civil works, including through trusted specialist partners, with one point of contact. If your project needs specific licences or documents, tell us when you request a quote and we will confirm what can be provided before you commit.
What factors affect demolition cost in NSW? +
Size and construction type, access and staging, hazardous materials, waste classification and tip fees, traffic management and programme urgency all affect cost. We provide site-specific quotes rather than generic price lists. See our
cost-factors article for a practical checklist.
