What to Expect From the Demolition Process

Site Assessment & Regulation Compliance

Before we begin any demolition project, our team will conduct a thorough site assessment, evaluating the structure’s current condition and potential hazards or contaminants. Once this step is complete, we’ll obtain the necessary permits to comply with building codes and environmental regulations.

Material Removal & Structural Identification

During this next step, our team of professionals will disconnect any utilities, including electricity, water, and gas, to ensure a safe demolition process. We’ll then begin removing and disposing of any hazardous materials (asbestos, black mold, lead) and identify any structural weaknesses that may lead to unplanned collapses.

Method Selection & Demolition Begins

Next, our experts will determine the most suitable demolition method, which may include either heavy machinery (wrecking balls, excavators, bulldozers, and more) or controlled explosives. After a plan has been put in place, we’ll begin the demolition, implementing water spraying to control the amount of dust in the air.

Site Clearing & Inspection

As the final pieces of the structure fall, we’ll dispose of the waste responsibly, separating materials for recycling and landfill disposal. Next, we’ll grade the site for future development, document the demolition process with photos and reports, and conduct a post-demolition inspection. During this inspection, we’ll make sure the site is cleared responsibly and safely.

Frequently Asked Demolition Questions

How is debris removed from a commercial demolition site?

Once your structure has been demolished, all the debris must be removed in order to clear and level the land. At GS Development, our team will sort through the remains, including cement, drywall, flooring, wood, and more, and transport them to the correct recycling facilities. You can expect this process to take a few days to complete.

Will I need a permit before a demolition project can begin?

Yes! Before the GS Development demolition team can begin tearing down your building, a permit will need to be obtained from the city. These permit costs can vary depending on the size of the building being demolished, but you should expect to pay anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand.

If you’re unsure how to obtain these demolition permits, our professionals will be happy to help you.

How do I know when a building should be demolished instead of renovated?

Demolition vs. renovation is completely up to you, but a few factors play a crucial role in making this determination. First and foremost, if the structure is no longer safe or functional, you should consider demolishing it for health and safety reasons—not to mention budgetary responsibility. Secondly, owners may choose to demolish a building when something newer and more modern will be built in its place.

At the end of the day, the decision is yours. Thankfully, GS Development offers both demolition and restoration services to suit all your commercial construction needs.
