Our Team

Experienced Leadership

At Combined Demolition Services (CDS), our projects are led by Director and Primary Project Manager, Michael Limpus, a highly experienced demolition and asbestos removal specialist with more than 25 years in the construction and trade industries.

Michael has owned and operated demolition and asbestos removal businesses for over 11 years, giving him extensive experience managing residential, commercial, and complex hazardous material projects. His hands-on approach ensures every job is delivered safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with Australian regulations and industry standards.

Michael works alongside a trusted team of long-term supervisors and licensed asbestos removalists who have been with the company since its early years. This consistency across our team allows CDS to maintain strict safety procedures, clear communication, and high-quality project delivery on every site.

Continuing the legacy of his family’s long-standing involvement in the industry, Michael is supported by his father, who brings more than 25 years of building and trade experience through About the House and remains actively involved in mentoring and sharing knowledge with the CDS team.

Together, our leadership team combines decades of practical demolition, asbestos removal, and construction expertise, ensuring every project is managed with professionalism, safety, and attention to detail.
