Full tear-downs.
A full tear-down takes a house, garage or small commercial building to the ground, foundation out, lot graded and ready for the builder. We file the demolition permit and book the utility disconnects and locates.
On the ticket.
Municipal demolition permit filed by us
Gas, hydro and water disconnects by licensed trades
Ontario One Call locates before the first dig
Structure down, foundation out, basement backfilled
Concrete crushed and metal sorted for recycling
Lot graded and swept before we leave
Lines, not guesses.
| Driver | What we look at |
|---|---|
| Building size and storeys | Footprint, height and what the walls are made of. |
| Foundation | Block, poured concrete or rubble stone, and how deep it goes. |
| Disconnects and survey | Gas, hydro and water isolated by licensed trades; a designated-substances survey on pre-1990 buildings. |
| Bins and tipping | A tear-down fills bins fast; the count sets the line. |
| Permit and utility locates | Whether we pull the demolition permit and book the locates. |
The number comes from a site walk. Hazardous materials and engineering are quoted separately after the walk.
Paper first.
- Full tear-downs always need a municipal demolition permit and utility disconnects. We file it and book the locates. [n] weeks typical.
- Pre-1990 buildings: a designated-substances survey comes first (O. Reg. 278/05).
- Ontario One Call locates on every dig, [n] business days.
The plates on every truck: WSIB, insurance, demolition permits, asbestos survey, utility locates, crew training.
[n] weeks typical, depending on the municipality. We file it and book the locates so the wait runs while the survey is done.
Foundation out, basement backfilled and the lot graded. Concrete is crushed and diverted from landfill.
Gas, hydro and water are isolated by licensed trades before the first cut. We book them as part of the job.
