Scope first

Demolition is won on what stays.

The line between what is removed and what is protected drives labor, disposal and schedule.

  • Selective and full demolition by area and level
  • Structural, slab and below-grade removals
  • Protection of existing finishes and adjacent occupied space
  • Hazardous-material abatement shown as included or by others
  • Hauling, dumpsters and disposal
  • Shoring and temporary support noted where drawings call for it

FAQ

Good questions.

Who uses this service?

Demolition subcontractors, general contractors pricing renovations and owners planning a phased renovation.

Is abatement included?

Abatement is a licensed specialty. We note it as included or by others in each estimate, based on the survey and your scope.

Can I get quantities only?

Yes. A quantity takeoff carries no unit costs. A priced estimate states the pricing basis: your rates, Hemingway pricing inputs for the project's ZIP code, or an applicable wage determination.

What should I send?

Demolition plans, existing-condition drawings, any hazardous-material survey, the project manual and addenda, and phasing requirements.
