Rebar is a structural demolition and site-clearance contractor. High-reach, controlled implosion, selective deconstruction, and full remediation — drawn to the millimetre, dropped inside a sealed exclusion zone, and handed back as clean, certified, build-ready ground.
Brought in by the developers, GCs, and public-works owners who can't afford a surprise on the day.
Two decades of bringing structures down on purpose.
From a 22-storey core in a live downtown block to a contaminated mill that has to be taken apart by hand — every structure gets the technique it demands, not the one that's cheapest to mobilise.
Long-reach excavators with shears, pulverisers, and grapples take towers down floor by floor, top to bottom. No structure is too tall to dismantle in a controlled descent that keeps the debris field inside the line we drew.
Licensed blasters drop a structure into its own footprint in seconds — pre-weakening plan, drilled charge pattern, and seismic monitoring on every neighbour. The right call when there's no room to take it down a piece at a time.
Surgical removal of a floor, a wing, or a single bay while the rest of the building stays occupied and standing. Shoring, temporary works, and saw-cutting take out exactly what the drawings call for — and nothing the drawings don't.
Soft-strip down to bare structure for renovation and fit-out. We pull finishes, MEP, ceilings, and partitions clean, sort them for recovery, and hand back a shell the next trade can start on Monday.
Certified containment and removal of asbestos, lead paint, and contaminated material, with air monitoring and manifest-tracked disposal. The hazard leaves the site before the structure does.
Foundations out, slab broken, debris crushed and screened, ground compacted and graded to spec. We don't leave when the building's gone — we leave when the lot is build-ready.
A teardown that looks effortless on the day took six weeks of engineering before a single machine moved. We run every job back-to-front: reverse-engineer how it stands, then unbuild it in the exact order it went up.
Before we quote, a structural engineer walks the building, maps the load paths, and flags what's holding up what. The teardown sequence is reverse-engineered from how the thing was built to stand.
You get a sequenced, engineer-stamped plan: method statement, exclusion zones, temporary works, and a collapse model. Every floor's removal is drawn before the first one comes off.
Atomised water cannons, real-time dust and decibel monitors, and seismographs on the neighbours. We keep the work inside the fence — the street outside shouldn't know we're there.
Daily progress photos, a live exclusion-zone log, and a closeout package with disposal manifests and recovery tonnages. You can prove where every load went.
The numbers we report on every closeout.
Six jobs with no margin for error — live rail, occupied wards, contaminated ground, a one-shot permit window. Every one came down inside its line and handed back clean.
A 22-storey office tower taken down top-down between a live commuter rail line and an occupied hotel. Floor-by-floor high-reach with a sealed debris chute and a 1.5× exclusion radius. Pad-ready in 71 working days, zero rail shutdowns.
A derelict foundry and its 280-foot chimney dropped by controlled implosion at 5 a.m. on a single permitted Sunday. Pre-weakened, charge-patterned, and seismically monitored — it fell into its own footprint with the buildings either side untouched.
A 1960s hospital wing removed while four floors next door stayed live around the clock. Diamond-wire saw cutting, full shoring, and a negative-pressure dust barrier kept operating rooms running through an eight-month surgical teardown.
A decommissioned shipyard structure stripped of asbestos and lead under full containment before demolition. Air-monitored, manifest-tracked abatement cleared the hazard, then the steel came down and went straight back to the mill.
A failing highway overpass taken out across four overnight closures above a working freeway. Saw-cut spans lifted out by crane, decks broken and hauled before dawn, lanes reopened to traffic every morning by 5 a.m.
A full city block of low-rise cleared to bare, graded, build-ready ground. Foundations excavated, 11,200 tonnes of concrete crushed and screened on site for reuse as fill, and the lot compacted and certified for the tower that followed.
“They dropped a 22-storey tower between a live rail line and our hotel and we never lost a night of bookings. The exclusion plan was tighter than some buildings I've put up. Rebar made the hard part look routine.”
“We needed one wing gone while the hospital stayed open around it. Eight months, four live floors next door, and not one disruption to the operating rooms. The shoring and dust control were flawless.”
“I've stamped a lot of demolition plans. Rebar's came back more thorough than the one my own team drafted — load paths, temporary works, collapse model, all of it. I signed it without a single revision.”
Right up against them. Selective deconstruction, saw-cutting, and full shoring let us remove a structure while the building sharing its wall stays occupied. Every job gets an engineered exclusion plan, vibration monitoring on the neighbours, and a method matched to how little room we have.
Most of it never reaches a landfill. We crush and screen concrete on site for reuse as fill or aggregate, send structural steel back to the mill, and segregate the rest for recovery. On a typical job we divert 94% of material, and you get the disposal manifests and recovery tonnages in the closeout package.
Yes. We're a certified abatement contractor. Asbestos, lead paint, and contaminated soil are removed under full containment with air monitoring and manifest-tracked disposal before demolition begins. The hazard is cleared and documented before the structure ever comes down.
It depends on method, height, and how tight the site is — but we put a sequenced schedule in writing before we mobilise and run a live look-ahead against it. A mid-rise high-reach teardown to a clean pad typically runs eight to twelve weeks; an implosion is over in seconds after weeks of engineering.
Fully. Licensed demolition and abatement contractor, bonded to $75M, and carrying coverage that satisfies owners and lenders. Our 0.58 EMR sits well below the industry average, and we've gone six years without a lost-time incident.
