Get It Away services
Detailed demolition services for renovations, refits and structural upgrades
At Get It Away, we specialise in detailed demolition across Sydney, offering precision internal removal services tailored to residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Whether you’re planning a major renovation, a commercial fit out, or a structural alteration, our experienced team delivers careful, controlled demolition that sets the foundation for your next phase.
Where standard demolition is about taking everything down, detailed demolition is about precision, patience, and skill. We don’t just knock down, we remove with purpose.
What Is Detailed Demolition?
Detailed demolition, often referred to as selective demolition or soft strip-out, is the careful and methodical removal of specific parts of a structure. This could include non-structural walls, ceilings, joinery, flooring, cabinetry, or mechanical and electrical components. It’s the ideal solution when a structure is being renovated or partially reconfigured, and parts of the original build must be preserved. Detailed demolition is the controlled method of dismantling specific parts of a structure, rather than knocking down the entire building.
Unlike full structural demolition, detailed demolition requires specialised tools, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of how to work within complex environments. It’s also an essential process for sustainability focused projects where material salvage or selective removal is required.
Some examples of detailed demolition are:
- Removing internal walls while keeping the building façade.
- Stripping out old fit-outs in preparation for a new tenancy.
- Carefully demolishing parts of a building next to shared walls or neighbouring properties.
- Dismantling services like HVAC, plumbing, or electrical systems without impacting live areas.
Why Detailed Demolition Is used:
Getting the early stages of a project right makes all the difference down the track. Detailed demolition isn’t just about taking things apart, it’s about creating a safe, clean, and structurally sound base for what’s next.
This type of work must be handled with accuracy, care, and attention to detail. Detailed demolition typically uses smaller tools, hand-operated machinery, or saw cutting equipment to achieve a cleaner, safer, and more targeted result. It’s also carried out with careful consideration of noise, dust, vibration, and access restrictions.
Key Reasons to Choose Detailed Demolition:
- Preserve structural elements you intend to keep
- Prepare the space for redesign or rebuild
- Enable targeted access to plumbing, electricals or HVAC
- Improve site safety by eliminating hazards in a controlled manner
- Save time and money by avoiding damage to surrounding structures

Our Detailed Demolition Process
Every project is unique, from a single apartment strip-out to a full commercial office fit-out. But we follow a proven step-by-step process to keep each project on track and under control.
Step 1: Site Assessment
Every project is unique, from a single apartment strip-out to a full commercial office fit-out. We start by doing a complete site assessment of the premises. This includes taking photos, documenting construction factors and scoping out the surrounding areas as well as the premises itself.
We follow a proven step-by-step process to keep each project on track and under control.
Step 2: Planning & Preparation
Next, we develop a project-specific demolition plan. This includes safety measures, equipment requirements, and a clear timeline. We coordinate closely with builders, architects, or property owners to avoid disruptions and align with broader project goals.
Step 3: Soft Demolition & Disconnection
We disconnect and isolate any live utilities that may be affected. Then we begin the soft demolition which includes removing fittings, fixtures, and finishes while protecting key building elements.
Step 4: Strip Out & Structural Preservation
More invasive removals are done using precise tools to ensure no unplanned damage occurs. Where required, we brace, support, or shield retained structures to maintain integrity during works.
Step 5: Waste Management & Clean-Up
We sort, remove and dispose of waste responsibly. Materials that can be recycled or reused are separated and handled accordingly. When we’re finished, the site is left clean and ready for the next phase of construction.
Reviews
”From the first phone call to the final clean-up, the team was fantastic. Punctual, hard-working, and great attention to detail. Highly recommend them for any demolition job.
