Steps Before Demolition

Perhaps you or a board you are a member of have tossed around the idea of removing an aged building, deteriorating tower, infrastructural piece, or some other construction. Have you asked questions like, “how do I even being the process of a demolition?” “What are the steps I need to take to do a demolition?” “What’s the process for demolition?” If you are in search of the steps you need to take before a demolition, you have come to the right place.

We know the process of carrying out a deconstruction project is daunting, and we are here to help every step of the way.  Whether you are still trying to decide if a demolition is the right move for you and your group, or if you have already decided and you are ready to start – we are here to guide you.  Keep reading below to learn all the steps before demolition and how you can be prepared for your project.

Deciding on Demo

The first part of determining if a demolition is the best move for you is to consider all the factors going into a demo. Some projects may need a renovation rather than a complete demolition. This fact is why the decision part of your process is so vital. As you consider whether or not demolition is the right answer to your questions, here are some factors to consider:

What is the structure? Are you looking to move a multi-rise building, a tower, a bridge, an older building? Where is the building located? Is the building in a busy urban area, or do you want to demolish a silo in an open field? At Alpine Demolition, we have experience with each of these types of demos.

Other factors to consider: the price of the demo will vary based on the factors listed above; permits will be required; the timing of the project; and what you will want to do with the materials after they are deconstructed.

Our team is here to help and answer any questions you have regarding any of these factors.  Keep reading below to contact us and submit any queries you have to our team of highly trained demo experts.

Making Plans

Once you have decided demolition is the right choice, it is time to make plans.

First, you will need to know the time frame you need your project completed. Time is very valuable to our customers, and we respect that. If you have another project that relies on the demo, that timeline will be an important factor when making plans. Many opportunities have narrow windows in which to complete the deal.

Finances are another important planning feature. We understand this, and that is why we guarantee to provide our clients with a comprehensive bid. Our goal is to ensure that there are no hidden surprises or fees that should have been covered in the original estimate so that you can stick to your financial budget.

Another important part of the planning process is ensuring all legal documents and regulations are promptly handled. Our practice is to inform the client during the bid process of local requirements such as fencing, and utility disconnects.

Finally, an important feature of the planning process is  dust control. We consider where the demo will take place and how we can ensure the proper techniques for dust control are taken to protect you and others in close proximity.

Preparing for Demo

Whether it is tower demolition, high-rise deconstruction, or some other infrastructure, we prepare for demolition by knowing exactly how we are going to tackle our project.

At Alpine Demolition, we walk with you through the planning and preparation. Preparing involves removing fixtures, storing items that will be in the way during the project, filing permits, establishing safety boundaries, and taking all necessary precautions for highly-sensitive health concerns. Once these important preparation essentials are completed, then it is time to move into the demolition project itself.

Demolition

The actual demolition is the main event in this process. During the planning and preparing periods, you decided what kind of demolition you were going to have done. You have made decisions about whether your structure will be deconstructed in a series of pieces, layer by layer. Or, you have decided to go with dynamite or a wrecking ball, depending on your individual needs.

This is also the time in the process where our guarantee to you about our sustainability practices come into play. We are intentional in recycling as many materials as possible, and we are also committed to community safety during the demolition.

After Demo Considerations

Once the demolition project is complete, your structure will no longer be an issue. Whether you have decided to have a silo deconstructed in pieces, or you have knocked over a multi-story building – the structure is no longer visible, and the space is free for new and exciting things.
