Precise removal of specific walls, floors, ceilings and systems while the rest of the building stays protected and in service.
Selective demolition is the art of taking out exactly what you want and nothing more. It is how churches, offices, schools and homes get renovated without losing the parts worth keeping. A cut that is a few inches off, or a vibration that cracks a neighboring wall, can cost far more than the demolition itself.
We study the drawings and the building, mark every cut line with the architect or owner and protect everything that stays with plastic, plywood and temporary barriers. We use saws, hand tools and small equipment to limit vibration and dust. We remove walls, floors, ceilings, stairs or openings in the planned order and leave clean edges for the next trade.
We mark cut lines on the structure with the owner or design team. A clear line avoids guesswork and costly mistakes.
Finishes, floors, historic details and equipment near the work get temporary protection before the first cut.
Wet saws, hand tools and small machines reduce vibration and dust inside occupied or sensitive buildings.
Removing floors or walls may require shoring. We install temporary supports as the engineer specifies.
