Demolition and site clearing work by FN Building Projects

Demolition & asbestos removal.

Prepare the site for what comes next. Planned demolition and registered Type 2 asbestos removal across Cape Town, with the scope, sequence and disposal route agreed before work starts.

Demolition & site preparation

For owners and developers clearing a site, removing a structure or opening up a building for its next use.

  • Full or partial demolition, scoped to the property
  • Internal stripping and preparation for alterations
  • Site clearing, removal and the agreed waste-disposal route
  • Sequencing around retained structures and the next stage of construction

We review access, neighbouring structures, services and required approvals before setting the method and price.

Asbestos removal

Registered Type 2 asbestos contractor, 2026RAC/OHS-CI069. We assess the material and work classification before agreeing a removal plan.

  • Asbestos-cement roof sheets, gutters and boundary panels
  • Asbestos insulating board within our registration
  • Controlled removal, containment and correct disposal
  • Required appointment, monitoring and close-out documentation

Suspected asbestos must be assessed before demolition disturbs it. Intact material does not always need removal.

Start with the site and the sequence.

Tell us what must come down, what must remain, whether hazardous material is suspected and what will happen on the site afterwards. Photographs and existing drawings help us prepare for the visit.

  1. Assess

    Walk the site, confirm the scope, access, retained elements and any specialist requirements.

  2. Plan and price

    Set out the method, approvals, waste route and programme in a written, itemised proposal.

  3. Remove and hand over

    Check the agreed demolition scope and cleared area at handover. For asbestos work, agree the applicable waste records, inspection and clearance documents in the plan before work starts.
