Gone

After the excitment of Demo day, the next 3 days were spent by Mark from Preferred Demolition clearing away the rubble that used to constitute our family home. After seeing the mess at the end of Day 1, it was really incredible to check back and see how much clearing had been done by the end of each day. It's not like everything was simply picked up and taken away either. A lot of time was spent by Mark sorting out the rubble, putting things into specific piles to be recycled, salvaged or disposed of as appropriate. Watching a big excavator pick up a dainty pipe separate from the rest of the rubble around it really demonstrates the skills of the operator and I can tell you Mark is a gun operator!

Not only does Mark operate the excavator, but after he loads the truck, he then hops out and drives that away, comes back and hops back into the excavator and does it all again. As a single operator, we didn't think it would be possible for him to clear away as much material as he did in a day but he's a hard, careful, efficient and skilled worker and just got on with the job each day. He even managed to carefully remove some trees that were right on the property boundary, hard against our neighbours driveway and very close to our electricity pillar, without any damage, which I didn't think he'd be able to do. 

After 3.5 days of sorting, loading, dumping, raking and clearing, our block is now a raked sandpit with a fenced off pool shell and a few things tucked along the back fence all ready for its exciting next stage. If you are looking for a demo company to handle your demolition, I would not hesitate at all to recommend Mark and Linda from Preferred Demolition and can't thank them enough for the level of professionalism and care shown in completing our job.
