Regardless of your reason for demolishing a building, you will need expert building demolition contractors to ensure that the job is done safely and efficiently.

This is where Industrial Demolition and our range of demolition services comes in! But first, it is important to understand what demolition entails and what it means. In this blog, we will explore everything that you need to know about the demolition process.

Let’s begin.

Meaning

In short, demolition refers to the destroying or wrecking of a building. It can be whole or part demolition, depending on your requirements and needs. As it is a dangerous task, it often involves thorough and careful planning before the demolition is executed.

Pre-demolition 

The planning stage is crucial to the success of a demolition project. There are many factors to consider, including:

  • Building survey – the demolition site must be surveyed and inspected to identify materials, design, building codes, etc. to help inform which demolition method is most suitable
  • Hazardous materials – they must be identified and removed before demolition
  • Demolition plan – a detailed plan must be created, which includes aspects such as equipment, labour, which areas are to be demolished, etc.
  • Safety – from workers to neighbours, the safety of individuals near the vicinity of the demolition site must be taken into account

During Demolition

For residential demolition, the following machinery and equipment are often used to dismantle the property:

  • Bulldozers
  • Wrecking balls
  • Excavators
  • Sledge hammers

A combination of the above might be used.

Post-demolition

At Industrial Demolition, we also help with the cleanup after demolition. This means that when it comes to waste, we carefully dispose of any hazardous materials and recycle salvageable materials. Rest assured that we don’t simply leave the site disorganised once the demolition is complete.
