Interested in learning what our demolition service entails? Let’s go through some terms together first.

Demolition services vs Dismantling services

Dismantling and demolition are both actions that serve the same purpose, to deconstruct. However, as services, they are quite different in terms of scale. The demolition process involves the complete destruction of a building. Dismantling is more specific and applied when a structure needs to be altered or repurposed into something new and different.

What are Demolition services?

If you're working on a project that requires demolishing, our crew can take care of the job quickly. Our skilled demolition services team can take apart or tear down anything from homes, buildings, old factories and sometimes bridges or overpasses, so that you can carry on with the next part of your building project fast.

We can provide demolition services for elements like stone, brick, iron, and concrete structures while using specialized, heavy-duty equipment like bulldozers, wrecking balls and jackhammers to get the job done.

What are Dismantling services?

If you're looking to reuse old materials, as is often the case with metal or plastic in industrial buildings, it may be better to dismantle rather than demolish since in construction, dismantling means to “take apart a structure piece by piece without damaging other parts of the building”.
Dismantling is also commonly used if the project manager or board would like to salvage existing parts and repurpose them, or. So our dismantling services teams will take pieces and remove them, and load them into a dump truck where they can be repurposed.

Should I demolish or dismantle it?

Sometimes, it’s easier to demolish a building than to restore it. There are many factors to consider, such as:

1. Owner or developer preference
2. If the structure is structurally safe
3. If the building has taken significant damage

Let’s go through them together!

Owner or developer preference

When a property or lot has just been purchased, the new owner’s vision sometimes differs from the current one. For example, if an office building has just changed ownership, the new owner might want to turn it into a swimming complex instead. In such cases, the structure’s entire purpose wouldn’t fit the owner’s new vision and it should be completely torn down to be rebuilt again. 

The current structure is unsafe

 This is a common reason why clients come to us requesting we demolish a building. Demolition services are often carried out to make a site safer. If a building has materials that are no longer used or if the building poses a hazard to itself or nearby buildings, then it’s more likely to be demolished than repaired.

We would need to take a look at the building’s structure and foundations and ask ourselves if we dismantle its parts, can it stay standing safely? Will its shape have any risk of collapsing and harming our workers?

Old and structurally unsound buildings that don’t meet current building codes may also be demolished.

The building has incurred damage

 Whether you choose to restore or replace depends on a lot of factors, but the most common concern our clients have is cost. It is more costly to repair and restore? Or to completely replace?

In our professional opinion, if a property has incurred significant fire or water damage, or if it was damaged by a natural disaster, it may not be able to be safely sustained and restored.

When a building isn’t properly maintained, it may fall into disrepair and require demolition since maintenance and restoration may be costly for our clients to bear. Neglecting the building’s maintenance can also cause a host of other issues, including structural damage that makes it unsafe to occupy or use in the long run.
