Basic facts about demolishing a house
The first step in demolishing a house is finding a licensed and bonded demolition contractor to remove the structure. Ensure the estimates from the contractor specify everything including obtaining necessary permits for the job.
• House Inspection
Demolitions need to be carried out in a safe working environment, therefore inspecting the house for hazardous materials is a critical first step. Materials such as asbestos and lead paint must be carefully removed following the correct remediation procedures. Some demolition companies will subcontract such services to environmental experts.
Get in touch with your utility suppliers to disconnect the water, sewer, gas and electricity from the house.
Before bringing down the house work closely with your demolition contractor to identify the recyclable materials that can be put to better use.
• Demolition
The house demolition can last for a day or more depending on the complexity. Demolishing a house requires heavy machinery such as a giant hydraulic excavator to bring down the house and collect the debris and load onto a truck or dumpster for hauling.
Get rid of all the rubble and clean up the site. A clean site means that all the dirt has been eliminated including the foundation of the house.
If the new building is supposed to come on the exact spot then the demolition company can utilize the same heavy machinery to get the site ready for the new structure. Your demolition company can handle all the excavation required for the rebuilding of the house.
• Cost of Demolition
Normally demolition services are charged per square feet. The cost will vary depending on the complexity and specific requirements of the demolition project. Through a demolition company, you can reliably determine the estimated cost demolishing a house.

• Obtaining a Permit

There are certain regulations regarding house demolitions concerned with debris, noise, pollution and other notifications. Ensure the contractor you hire is aware of the regulations and permits for your state.
• Hazardous Materials
The demolition company you hire must be aware of the regulations regarding hazardous materials such as asbestos and lead paint. Most local authorities demand that inspection for hazardous materials has to be carried before a demolition. Removing hazardous materials must be done following the right procedures. The demolition company you have hired may subcontract these services to environmental experts.
• Deconstruction
Deconstruction costs much more and takes much longer since everything is done manually to salvage as much material from the house as possible. It involves a much larger crew and recovers more recyclable materials such as glass, doors, tubs, pipes, sinks, and other fixtures. Compared to demolition that can be done by an excavator deconstruction is more labor intensive and will cost almost three times more.
Getting an estimate from more than one Demolition Company will help you understand whether you are getting a fair cost. However, do not be too quick to accept the lowest estimate go for the best value which includes a fair price and other qualifications such as insurance, license, and reviews. Choosing the right demolition company is critical since demolition errors can cause serious potential dangers.

The Cost of Demolition
House construction is costly but what can be equally costly is demolition. Both demolition and construction companies will confirm the same. Prior to undertaking a house demolition ensure you factor in the cost otherwise, the whole project could halt midway. The demolition company you hire should be able to give you a proper cost estimate.
The cost of demolishing your house will depend on the following factors:
• Demolition Technique
There are numerous techniques for demolishing a house. The cost of each technique varies from one to another. For instance tearing down a house using explosives is much less costly compared to knocking down a building using a wrecking ball held up on a crane.
• Building Size
A large building will need more time, specialized equipment and a much bigger labor force to bring it down compared to a smaller one. These factors will definitely lead to an increase in the cost of demolition.
• Demolition Scope
Your demolition project may involve a section of your house, structures or the entire building. The size of the building will determine the cost of the demolition. For instance, if you are only demolishing the swimming pool the cost will differ from demolishing the whole house.
• Building Materials
The cost of the demolition will also be influenced largely by the materials used to build the structure. Demolishing a house made of wood will be a lot cheaper compared to demolishing one constructed using hard concrete blocks.
• Clearing Debris
There will be a lot of debris after demolition. Confirm with the demolition company you hire whether the estimate includes handling of debris and cleanup. Hauling of the debris may come at an additional cost.
• Hazardous materials
The presence of hazardous materials such as asbestos and lead paint in your building will increase the cost of the demolition. These materials make the site risky to operate in and require a lot of precaution, expertise and special equipment to handle during demolition. Inhaling asbestos or lead compounds are harmful to health and will require professionals specialized in handling those materials. This is important for the safety of the demolition personnel, the client, and the community.
• Ease of access
The accessibility of the site will also influence the cost of the demolition. If the site is hard to access it will lead to increased cost for transporting equipment to site safely.
• Labor Force
The number of people required to demolish your building will determine the cost of the demolition. This should include those involved in the clearing of debris from the site.
Demolition of a house can be a costly project to undertake. However, one of the most important things for every demolition project is safety. Finding a reputable, efficient and expert demolition company is a critical step in conducting a safe and successful demolition.

Should you demolish or renovate?
It is a big dilemma sometimes whether to renovate or demolish a building. Demolition is less expensive compared to renovation but it is not necessarily the best option.
After buying an old house, you may be undecided whether to fix it or demolish the whole structure and start afresh. There is also the option of partial demolition to take down certain sections of the house and rebuild them while retaining the other parts of the main house.
These factors outlined below will help you decide whether to renovate or demolish:
• Cost
Is it cheaper to renovate or demolish?
If the structural integrity of the current house is poor, then demolishing and constructing a new building will be much cheaper compared to restoring the old structure.
There are situations where fixing major structural problems, finding the correct materials to upgrade an outdated house to be energy efficient and improve the general quality can be extremely costly, complex, time-consuming and require a large workforce. There is also the probability of exposing even much bigger structural problems along the way.
If the existing house design is one of a kind and you feel like not letting go then if the structural integrity is sound, you can work do a major renovation which in this case would much more cost effective and environmentally friendly. It is important that you carefully plan and understand all it takes and have a flexible budget.
For protected houses demolition is not an option since such houses are protected under law. Any modifications made on protected houses must be under the scrutiny of local authorities who maintain the heritage of the area.
What to demolish or retain
As long the structural integrity of the house is sound the major modifications you will make to upgrade the current house will involve fixing replacing the old and non-functional things in the home.
Bringing down walls to create extended living spaces is a great way to kick off. For instance, an open plan layout for a kitchen and dining area is a popular home remodeling design. Discuss with your contractor about the possibility of bringing down some walls without affecting the fundamental structure of the house. Other areas to consider for demolition include installing large windows to bring in more light and improve energy efficiency. Bathrooms and kitchens are key areas for renovation from floors to ceilings.
The huge advantage of renovating over demolition and building afresh is that it can be done in phases while you still have a place to live in. However choosing to stay during renovations may also increase the cost therefore sometimes you may be forced to seek an alternative accommodation during renovations.
Salvaging or recycling materials from a demolition or renovation is a great way of recovering some of the costs incurred in the process.
Before you decide to demolish or renovate make sure that you have an expert contractor inspect your house and verify that it is structurally sound.
