What Affects Demolition in Hermanus
- Holiday homes: owners are often away, so clear photos and key arrangements help.
- Coastal conditions: salt air corrodes steel and fittings, which affects salvage value.
- Estates often limit working hours, especially in holiday season.
- Rubble volumes and the distance to licensed disposal sites affect cartage costs.
