Interior demolition and strip-out — Demolition company
Mark the rooms and items to be removed and identify what needs to remain usable. A room-by-room schedule and available surveys help distinguish a finishes strip-out from work affecting supports, concealed services or hazardous materials.

Removal of specified internal finishes, fittings and assessed building elements while retaining the agreed structure and adjoining spaces. The scope must identify services, hazardous materials and structural interfaces before work is described as a routine strip-out.
What is normally included
- Defined interior strip-out packages
- Protection of retained internal areas
- Agreed debris removal and handover
What is not included
- Assuming all internal partitions are non-structural
- Asbestos disturbance as ordinary strip-out
Typical tasks
- Review the room-by-room removal schedule
- Confirm retained elements and service interfaces

- Inspect retained areas and document handover
What to include in your brief
- Room plan and removal list
- Retained fittings and finishes
- Existing survey information
- Service-isolation responsibilities
- Occupancy and material-removal routes
Choosing the right professional
Ask how the contractor will protect adjoining rooms and verify the boundary of removal. Confirm who handles concealed services, dust-sensitive areas and unexpected materials rather than accepting a vague promise to clear everything back to the shell.
Important considerations
- Indoor strip-out can generate substantial dust
- Hidden supports or services may sit behind apparently decorative finishes
