Demolition contractor in North York
North York is where Toronto tears down the most houses. Willowdale, Bayview Village and the streets off Yonge have been swapping 1950s bungalows for new two-storeys for twenty years, and the pattern keeps going. A tear-down here is a builder's job with a schedule attached.
North York, on the ground.
The lots are generous by Toronto standards, 50 feet and up, so a full-size excavator can work the foundation and the bins line up in the driveway. What slows things down is the same as everywhere in the City: the permit, the disconnects and the survey on a pre-1990 house.
Permits are issued by Toronto Building. Because most North York tear-downs are for a replacement house, the builder usually has the building permit in process when we file for demolition, which keeps the demolition control step short. [Kam confirms current timing.]

Toronto Building issues the permit; the builder's replacement building permit usually runs alongside the demolition application. [Link to the North York demolition permit page and typical processing time.]

Once the permit is in hand and the utilities are cut, the structure is down in a day and the foundation out and backfilled within the week on a typical lot. The permit and disconnect wait in front of that is the real schedule. [Kam confirms.]
The permit process handles the formal side. We still knock on doors the day before the machine arrives and give them a phone number, because a tear-down is loud.
If the City's tree bylaw protects them, we have to, and we fence them before the machine moves. Tell us at the site walk which trees you want kept.
