Demolition Dave is a family business specialising in breaking hard rock in Melbourne, Victoria since 1993. Our focus is getting your earth-moving and/or construction project back on track, promptly AND safely. Blasting in built-up areas is our specialty. Over the past 27+ years, around 50% of our rock work has been done in close proximity to existing homes/buildings (even under buildings).
If you are carving out a new home site, pool, or another project and you hit massive immovable granite or other very hard rock, don't give up before you've given Dave a call. Our niche is the ability to drill many small diameter blast holes quickly and accurately for jobs where blast vibration compliance is a concern.
