The inner west, Canterbury-Bankstown and established middle Sydney
Inner and middle-ring suburbs
Older detached and semi-detached stock dominates here, which means two recurring themes after a fire: asbestos-era materials woven through the fabric, and party walls or close neighbours affected by smoke spread. Recovery planning starts with testing and boundary questions in the same week.

What Level 2 work looks like here
Pre-1990 construction makes asbestos testing a default first step before any strip-out or demolition.
Semis and terraces share walls and roof spaces, so smoke and odour investigation often crosses into the adjoining property.
Heritage and character controls on some streets shape how facades and roofs are reinstated.
Narrow access affects skip placement, pack-out logistics and the demolition method itself.

Fire recovery crosses several regulated trades: building work above the NSW contract threshold needs a contractor licence, electrical and plumbing making-good need their own licences, and asbestos removal beyond minor quantities requires a SafeWork NSW licensed removalist. Ask who holds which licence for which stage, and verify each on the relevant public register.
