The reality is, professional demolition services save time, money, and stress. Here’s why hiring experts like Tiger Demolition is the smarter and safer choice.
The Real Costs of DIY Demolition
DIY demolition often starts with good intentions, but many homeowners quickly realise it’s more complicated than expected. Here’s what can go wrong:

Expensive Equipment and Tools
Demolition requires specialised tools and heavy machinery. Renting or buying equipment like jackhammers, concrete saws, and skip bins can cost hundreds—if not thousands—of dollars. Professionals already have the tools to get the job done right.

Almost all demolition projects in Melbourne need permits. If you skip this step or file incorrectly, you could face fines or legal issues. At Tiger Demolition, we handle all the paperwork to keep your project both compliant and stress-free.

Older homes often contain asbestos, lead paint, or other hazardous materials. Safely identifying and removing these requires proper training and licensing. Mistakes can put your health at risk and also lead to massive fines. Tiger Demolition specialises in safe asbestos removal, so you don’t have to worry.

Demolition is very dangerous without the right training and safety gear. Accidents can lead to medical bills, time off work, and legal liabilities if others are injured. Our team is fully licensed and insured to protect you and your property.

Unexpected issues—like hidden pipes, wiring, or structural surprises—can slow DIY projects down for weeks. Professionals work faster and know how to handle sudden problems without blowing your budget.
Why Professional Demolition Saves You Money
While DIY demolition might look cheaper at first, professionals actually save you money in the long run. Here’s how:
