Questions people ask first

For a non-structural strip-out, usually no, but the renovation that follows will need one, and any wall that carries load needs a permit before it comes out. Full tear-downs always need a demolition permit. We tell you which applies at the site walk.

Ontario's designated-substances rules mean a survey for asbestos and similar materials comes first. If the survey finds something, Breaker removes it under O. Reg. 278/05 before demolition continues. We coordinate the survey and do the abatement ourselves.

Licensed trades, before the first cut. Ontario One Call locates on every dig, [n] business days.
