Frequently asked questions
Questions customers ask before work begins.
What is selective demolition?+
Selective demolition removes identified interior components while preserving the parts of the building that remain for renovation or continued use.
Can you work before a tenant improvement?+
Yes. Share the drawings, intended removals, building rules, access requirements, and schedule so the demolition scope can support the next trade.
What if suspect asbestos or lead is found?+
Stop disturbing the material and discuss evaluation. Environmental requirements may change the sequence and scope of demolition.
Are permits always required?+
Requirements vary by project and jurisdiction. Permit and owner responsibilities should be confirmed for the specific property before work begins.
The page describes interior and selective demolition. Structural demolition, full-building wrecking, permit responsibility, recycling, and hazardous-material work will be stated only when included in the project-specific scope.
