Step-by-Step
Step 1: Initial Site Assessment
We visit the site to assess structure type, access, hazards and material volume. This helps us develop a safe and cost-effective plan.
Step 2: Permitting and Planning
We work with county and city building departments to pull the necessary permits and schedule inspections when needed.
Step 3: Utility Disconnection and Hazard Removal
All utilities are disconnected. If materials like lead, mold or asbestos are present, we remove them according to safety and compliance standards.
Step 4: Demolition
Our team uses advanced equipment and methods to demolish residential buildings, commercial facilities and infrastructure such as bridges.
Step 5: Cleanup and Recycling
We sort debris on-site. Concrete, metal and wood are sent to recycling facilities as part of our eco-friendly disposal program. Final site grading prepares your lot for redevelopment.
