Two
types of demolition
There are two types of demolition in the
construction business,
·
Residential
Demolition
The
complete or partial removal of a structure that is presently on a residential
property is known as residential demolition Capalaba.
Complete or partial demolition can be performed to make room for a new living
room, or a new shed to be constructed, or to demolish an outdated residential building
so it can create more open space, or both.
However,
demolition Capalaba doesn’t have to just be about totally demolishing structures, it can
also include removing a part of the house – i.e. an interior room to make way
for another room. This demolition process is generally done during major
renovations and an example of this would be removing all living room fixtures
and fittings so that a new fitting can be constructed.
Parts
of residential structures that can be demolished include whole house structures,
pools, driveways and garages, retaining walls, barns, patios, decks, brick
demolitions, bathrooms, kitchens, and removing of hazardous waste such as
asbestos. Reasons for residential demolition range from renovating a room to
removing a structure due to a safety risk.

Commercial
Demolition
The
process of turning business buildings like hotels, hospitals, malls, and other
commercial buildings into a vacant lots is known as commercial demolition. A
structure must be completely demolished for commercial purposes, including all
non-structural work and site hauling. Commercial demolition projects are larger
and require different permits and planning. It also includes heavy equipment,
such as cranes, large excavators, and bulldozers. The most common reasons for commercial
demolition are business relocation and parking space creation.
The
most commonly used methods of commercial demolition are mechanical and manual
demolition. However, explosions or implosions are used when other methods of
demolition are not an option. Commercial demolition involves extensive and
accurate planning.
What
are the steps needed for demolition?
1.
Before work on your
demolition can begin, you’ll need to first acquire the necessary paperwork and
permits from your city or council authorities.
2.
After securing the necessary
documents for your demolition projects, an inspector will begin checking the
building to be demolished. The inspector will look for chemicals, gas lines, and
dangerous materials like asbestos, and structural problems that could lead to a
premature collapse.
3.
After the inspection, the demolition
team will plan the best way to remove the building and materials.
4.
Putting the proper safety
precautions into place. Demolition should not be started if services, such as plumbing,
electrical, and gas services are not yet disconnected.
5.
Once the building is cleared
and all safety precautions are in place, demolition can start. Demolition crews
will bring the needed equipment to the job site and perform the demolition
according to the plan.
6.
After the demolition is
complete, the demolition team will start removing or recycling the debris.
Always make sure to hire a building
demolition contractor with proper licenses. Also check if they have insurance
coverage, relevant experience, and a track record of satisfied customers. Check
their online reviews and recommendations, as well as their past projects, and
see whether they suit your demolition needs.
