The Inner West is one of Sydney's most characterful places to build, and one of its trickiest. Terraces share walls, lanes are narrow, blocks slope toward the water, and many streets sit inside heritage conservation areas. SDX Projects understands how to work in these conditions. We provide demolition, strip out, excavation and tight access excavation across the Inner West, helping homeowners, builders and commercial clients get projects started safely and without conflict with neighbours.
Our demolition contractors specialise in careful, controlled work. Most Inner West demolition is selective: rear extensions, sheds, laundries, internal walls and non-original additions come out while the retained structure is supported and protected. Where full demolition is approved, we plan around adjoining properties, shared walls and street access. Older buildings can contain asbestos and lead paint, so we assess before we begin and manage waste correctly.
From warehouse conversions in the west to shopfronts along busy strips, our strip out demolition team clears interiors ready for renovation or fit-out. We remove linings, floors, fixtures, old bathrooms and kitchens, and redundant services, and we protect the original features you intend to keep. Dust and noise are controlled, and waste is removed in a way that respects tight streets and limited parking.
Our excavation contractors dig for rear additions, lower-ground rooms, footings, pools, retaining walls and drainage. Ground varies across the Inner West, from clay and fill to sandstone close to the surface in the north, so we assess and plan before we dig. We coordinate with engineers and builders on levels and sequencing, and we take care around neighbouring footings.
This is where the Inner West really tests a contractor. Our tight access excavation service uses compact excavators, conveyors and staged removal to work in terraces with no side access, lane-only properties and sites boxed in by neighbours. In some cases spoil has to be carried through the house or along a shared path, and we plan those moves in detail, protecting floors, fences and boundaries throughout.
Many Inner West properties fall within heritage conservation areas, which can affect what you are allowed to demolish and how. We work with your certifier and builder to make sure approvals and conditions are understood before work starts. With attached neighbours on both sides, communication matters too. We let neighbours know what to expect, keep working hours predictable and leave the street clean at the end of each day.
