What to Expect When Hiring a Demolition Contractor in Sydney
/Planning a demolition project in Sydney? Whether you’re clearing a residential block, dismantling part of a commercial facility, or removing a structure for redevelopment, it’s essential to hire the right team.
Demolition isn’t just about heavy machinery — it requires experience, compliance with NSW regulations, and a smooth handover for the next stage of construction.
At CMS Contracting & Plant Hire, we’ve been delivering high-quality demolition, excavation, and earthworks services across Sydney and regional NSW for over 20 years. From safe asbestos removal to full site preparation, we provide a seamless start-to-finish service.

Utility disconnections
WHS documentation and site safety plan
