Our story
J.R. Kennedy Demolition is a locally owned and operated demolition business based in Winchelsea, Victoria. With over 10 years of industry experience and six years operating under its own demolition licence, the business has built a reputation for dependable workmanship, honest service and quality results.
Founded after years working in the construction industry as a carpenter, and gaining extensive demolition experience through major contractors, J.R. Kennedy Demolition combines practical building knowledge with professional demolition expertise.
Unlike larger corporations, every project receives personal attention from the owner, ensuring clients deal directly with the person responsible for completing the work.

A demolition business that thinks about what happens next
Demolition doesn't have to mean a skip full of landfill. We plan each job around what can be recovered — bricks, hardwood, tin, floorboards, windows, doors, kitchens, trusses, cladding and scrap metal all get sorted for reuse or recycling, and green waste is mulched rather than dumped.
It's better for the environment, and because salvage value is factored into our quoting, it's usually better for your budget too.
