Pyrite Demolition and Rebuild

PaidV

Hi all,

Hoping for some advice. I extensively renovated and added an extension to my home in 2014. The house was originally built in 1991 and is a bungalow. Unfortunately the house has been confirmed with pyrite and our local council has offered us Remediation Option 2 which is to remove and replace the internal and external leafs of the external walls down to foundation level. I dont feel this is an appropriate long term remdiation and have appealed. Regardless of whether I get upgraded to Option 1 (full demolition) or not I will look to demolish the house and replace foundations etc. My question really involves the extension which does not have pyrite. Is it going to be very difficult to save the extensions in a full demolition project? Its 40 sq meters so I'd hate to have to demolish. Is it going to end up costing me a lot more to save it?

Would appreciate and feedback from anyone with experience in this are.

Thanks

Padraig

Might do no harm to post the question in this thread also.
