What to Expect During a Demolition Project

A walk through a typical demolition project from the first call to the final grade, so there are no surprises.

The first call and site visit

We ask about the project, then visit to see the structure, the access and the lot. You receive honest feedback on what the job involves.

We take photos and measurements for the written scope.

The written scope

A proposal lists what comes down, what stays, the foundation plan, hazards, hauling and the final condition of the site. We review it with you.

Nothing starts until you are comfortable.

Permits, surveys and utilities

Before demolition, the hazard survey, permits and utility disconnects are arranged. They take time, so we start them early.

We keep you updated on each one.

Protection and set-up

Fencing, dust control, erosion controls and neighbor notices go up, and equipment arrives. Trees and structures to keep are marked and protected.

You receive a start date and a contact number.

Demolition and hauling

The structure comes down in a planned order, material is sorted and loaded and trucks haul it away. Water controls dust.

You can see progress daily.

Final grading and walk-through

We sweep for nails and debris, grade the lot and walk it with you. You receive photos and receipts.

Questions are answered before we leave.

Our advice in one sentence

Expect a site visit, a written scope, early permits and utilities, protection, careful demolition and a final walk-through.

Questions

Quick answers.

How long does a typical project take?

Interior jobs take days, a house takes a few days after permits and disconnects, and commercial work takes longer.

Will I need to be there?

For the start and the end, yes. During demolition we keep you informed by phone or message.

Can I see the progress?

Yes. We share photos and you can visit the site, outside the work zone.
