Demolisher

Demolishers completely or partly dismantle buildings and other structures using pre-planned and controlled methods. Their work often combines the structural demolition of load-bearing elements with the stripping of internal fixtures and fittings, services and non-load-bearing elements.

There are three classes of Demolisher in which you can apply to register:

  • Demolisher (Low rise)
  • Demolisher (Medium rise)
  • Demolisher (Unlimited).

For more information, see What is demolition work?

To apply for registration as a Demolisher, you will need to complete:

  1. Online application form
  2. Technical Referee Report
  3. Your evidence portfolio.

Application forms

Please follow the instructions carefully. Our application process changes from time to time.

To apply for registration as a Demolisher, you'll need to complete an online application form:.

  • To start a new application, log in to BPC and start a new application from the 'Registration and licensing' page.
  • To continue an application, log in to BPC and find your draft application on the 'Registration and licensing' page.

Technical references

The BPC has moved to an online process for Technical Referee Reports for Domestic Builder, Commercial Builder and Demolisher classes, replacing the previous PDF format.

To apply for registration as a Demolisher you will need to provide a technical reference confirming that they have directly supervised you carrying out the work listed. You may need to provide more than one technical reference. Your referees must be Demolishers registered in the same class or a class higher than the one you're applying for.

Please note:

  • Technical Referee Report requests will be sent directly to your nominated Technical Referee(s).
  • The BPC will notify you when your completed Technical Referee Reports have been received.
  • Your application form cannot be submitted until your Technical Referee Reports have been received by the BPC.
