What you get
What's Included in Your Strip-Out
A strip-out removes everything inside a building that isn't part of the structure, so a renovation or new fit-out can start from a clean shell. The skill is in what stays: walls, slabs, services and finishes you want kept are marked and protected before anything comes out. Gold Coast Demolitions quotes the whole job in writing. It includes:
- Free site walk-through and written quote
- Asbestos check, with licensed removal and clearance if it's found
- Marking and protecting everything that stays
- Services made safe by licensed trades before work starts
- Removal of cabinetry, fixtures, tiles, linings, ceilings and non-structural walls
- Dust screens and floor protection in occupied buildings
- Waste sorted on site, with timber, metal and plasterboard recycled where possible
- A swept, empty shell, ready for your builder or fit-out team
At Gold Coast Demolitions, asbestos is removed by licensed removalists, as Queensland law requires.

How we do it
How a Strip-Out Works, Step by Step
Every strip-out follows the same order, whether it's a single bathroom or a whole office floor. Most of the care goes into agreeing what stays and protecting it.
Free, on siteStep 1: Walk Through and Scope
We walk the space with you, mark what comes out and what stays, check access and building rules, then send a written quote.
Before work startsStep 2: Check for Asbestos
Older linings, wet areas and floor coverings are checked. Any asbestos is removed by licensed removalists before the strip-out begins.
Day 1Step 3: Make Safe and Protect
Services are made safe by licensed trades, then dust screens and floor, lift and doorway protection go in.
Strip-outStep 4: Strip Back
Fixtures, cabinetry, tiles, linings, ceilings and non-structural walls come out in a set order, room by room.
As we goStep 5: Sort and Remove
Waste is sorted as it comes out and removed in loads that suit the building, with recyclable material kept separate.
Final dayStep 6: Clean Shell Handover
The space is swept and left empty, with everything you asked to keep still in place, ready for the next trade.
Every space is different
Strip-Outs for Homes and Businesses
The work inside is similar. Who you need to talk to, the working hours and the way waste leaves the building are not.
These are the strip-outs we do most across the Gold Coast.
Kitchens
Cabinetry, benchtops, splashbacks, appliances and flooring removed, with plumbing and electrical capped and ready for the new layout.
RenovationBathrooms and Laundries
Tiles, screeds, vanities, baths and wall linings taken back to the frame. Older wet-area linings are checked for asbestos first.
Back to the frameWhole-Home Strip-Outs
Every room stripped back for a full renovation, while the frame, roof and slab or stumps stay. A lower-waste option when the structure is sound.
Keep the shellUnits and Apartments
Strip-outs planned around body corporate rules, lift bookings, permitted hours and neighbours on the other side of the wall.
Body corporateShops and Tenancies
Shopfronts, counters, shelving, partitions and ceilings removed at lease end or before a new fit-out, often around a centre's rules.
Make-goodOffice Fit-Outs
Partitions, joinery, carpet, ceilings and cabling removed from offices, often at night or on weekends in occupied buildings.

| Asbestos check | If the home was built before 1990 | Affected areas, checked against any building records | The workplace asbestos register, for buildings built before 2004 |
| Working hours | Standard daytime hours | Set by the building's rules | Often after hours, around trading |
| Getting waste out | Skip bins or trucks on site | Booked lifts and loading bays | Loading docks and service corridors |

Pricing
Strip-Out Cost
on the Gold Coast
Every space is different, so an accurate price comes from a walk-through, not a calculator. These are the things that move the cost of a strip-out.
After a free inspection you get a written quote that covers protection, the strip-out, waste removal and a clean shell.
What affects your price
Scope
A single bathroom is a small job; a whole home or office floor is a much bigger one.
Materials
Tiles on thick screed, stone benchtops and solid partitions take longer and weigh more than light linings.
Asbestos
Any asbestos found in linings, wet areas or floors is removed first, which adds to the job.
Access
Upper floors, stairs, lift bookings and distance to the truck all affect how fast waste leaves the building.
Working hours
After-hours or weekend work in occupied buildings takes more planning than a vacant site.
What stays
The more that must be kept and protected, the more careful the work around it.
Strip-Out Questions, Answered
A strip-out removes a building's interior, such as cabinetry, fixtures, tiles, linings, ceilings and non-structural walls, while the structure stays. It's the first step in most renovations and new fit-outs.
A strip-out keeps the building standing and only takes out what's inside. House demolition and commercial demolition remove the structure itself.
It depends on the size of the space, the materials, any asbestos, access and working hours. After a free walk-through we give you a written quote covering the whole job.
Yes. Homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos in wet areas, linings and floors, and workplaces built before 2004 should have an asbestos register. Gold Coast Demolitions checks before anything is disturbed, and any asbestos is removed by licensed removalists first.
Yes. Single rooms are stripped back to the frame, with the rest of the home protected from dust and the plumbing and electrical made safe for your renovator.
Yes. We work to the body corporate's rules, book lifts and loading bays, protect common areas and keep to permitted hours.
Yes. Noisy work can be done at night or on weekends so neighbouring tenants and shoppers aren't disturbed, with the area left clean for the next day.
Yes. Gold Coast Demolitions strips a tenancy back to the condition set out in your lease, so check what it requires and we'll quote to that.
It's sorted as it comes out. Metal, timber and clean plasterboard go for recycling where possible, and fixtures in good condition can be set aside if you want to keep them.
