Why small jobs cost more per square metre
Set-up, containment, transport and clearance are fixed costs, whether you remove five square metres or fifty. Small jobs carry those costs over a small area, so their per-metre figure is higher.
Comparing quotes properly
Two quotes can differ because of what is included: scaffolding, disposal, clearance and licence class. Compare scope line by line, not just the headline rate.
Disposal is built into our quotes and goes only to an EPA Victoria-authorised facility, recorded in Waste Tracker.
Where the rates come from
Rates are guides, and every job is quoted on site after we see the access, height and condition of the material. Bonded and friable work differ enormously in cost.
