What are the things you must consider before starting residential demolition work?

A survey is the most common thing you must consider before starting a demolition project. You should ask your demolition contractor to study the buildings and site thoroughly. It will help you determine the necessary safety measures that you must take. You can also identify if the building contains asbestos or other hazardous materials.

Why should you demolish your residential building and not renovate it?

Residential demolition becomes necessary when you are talking about structurally decaying buildings. Old buildings are more dangerous and prone to collapsing. Instead of renovation, demolition will be safer and more economical. Besides, you can restructure a new building with design flexibility.

Can demolition negatively impact the environment?

No, demolition does not harm the environment if proper measures are taken. For example, ask your contractors to be careful that debris is collected within the marked area. Besides, your demolition contractor must identify and remove asbestos from the site and dump it at the asbestos-waste dumping site.

Does demolition always use explosives?

No, demolition does not always involve explosives. Most demolition work involves special equipment and manual labour. Explosives are used in large, multi-storey buildings, which would require a lot more time to demolish manually. Use DCL's residential demolition service to complete the work efficiently.
