There are also things you need to be careful of…
The benefits of a total building demolition include:
Safety
A building that is no longer safe can pose a risk to public safety. Demolishing the building can eliminate that risk.
Increased property value
A dilapidated building can decrease the value of surrounding properties while removing it can increase property values.
Redevelopment
A complete demolition can clear the way for new development, such as a building or park.
Things to be careful of:
- Safety: Safety should be the top priority when demolishing a building. Hazards, such as asbestos or lead-based paint, may be present and must be properly handled.
- Permits: Demolition permits are typically required and must be obtained from local authorities.
- Utility disconnection: Before demolition can begin, utilities such as electricity, gas, and water must be disconnected.
- Salvageable materials: Salvageable materials, such as bricks or lumber, can be sold or reused. Care should be taken to identify and properly remove these materials.
- Environmental impact: Demolition can impact the environment, such as releasing dust or debris into the air. Measures should be taken to minimize the environmental impact of the demolition.
- Debris removal: Demolition creates significant debris that must be properly removed and disposed of.
- Noise and disruption: Demolition can be noisy and disruptive to the surrounding community. Care should be taken to minimize the impact on the community.
