Selecting the right strip out contractor is crucial for your renovation or demolition project's success. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the key factors to consider, ensuring you make an informed decision that saves time, money, and potential headaches.

  • Additional certifications for specialized work

Assess Experience and Expertise

Project Portfolio

Evaluate the contractor's experience through:

  • Before and after photos
  • Client testimonials and reviews

Specialised Knowledge

Look for expertise in specific areas:

  • Your property type (residential/commercial)
  • Heritage building experience if relevant
  • Hazardous material handling
  • Local council regulations

Safety Record and Procedures

Evaluate the contractor's commitment to safety:
