Cleared lot after structure demolition and debris removal
Service

Demolition

Structure takedown, foundation removal, concrete breaking, and debris load-out. We tear it down, sort it, haul what needs hauling, and leave the site clean and graded for whatever comes next.

What's Involved

How We Handle Demolition

Every demo job starts with a site assessment. We look at the structure, the access, what's staying, what's going, and where the material ends up. We plan the takedown sequence so the structure comes apart in a controlled way — no surprises, no damage to what's staying.

The CAT 305 with the hydraulic thumb is the primary tool. We pull structures apart, sort material as we go — metal, wood, concrete, debris — and stage it for load-out or on-site disposal depending on the site and the regulations. Concrete gets broken and stacked or loaded. Metal gets sorted for recycling.

After the structure is down and the material is handled, we pull foundations, remove footings, and backfill the holes. The site gets a final grading pass so the owner is left with a clean, level surface — not a crater with debris piles around it.

We handle the full scope from first pull to final grade. One contractor, one mobilization, clean handoff. If the site needs land clearing or site grading after demo, we can roll right into the next phase.

FAQ

Common Questions

What does structure demolition include?

We mechanically demolish the structure, sort materials for salvage and recycling, load and haul debris to an approved disposal facility, and regrade the site to finished grade. One contractor from start to finish.

Can you salvage materials from a demolition?

Yes. We separate salvageable materials like lumber, metal, and fixtures during the demolition process. What can be reused goes to the landowner, recyclable metal goes to the scrap yard, and the rest goes to the landfill. Sorting as we go keeps disposal costs down.

Do I need a permit to demolish a building in the Cariboo?

Inside municipal boundaries you typically need a demolition permit. In the regional district it depends on the structure and zoning. If there's asbestos or other hazardous materials, there are additional requirements through WorkSafeBC. We recommend checking with your local building department before starting.
