Demolition and waste removal — General contractor
Identify what is to be removed and what must stay intact. Supply plans, photographs and known service or hazardous-material information. A request to remove a partition is not enough to establish that it is non-structural or disconnected from services.
Service scope
Planned dismantling or removal of defined building elements, followed by controlled handling and disposal of the resulting materials. Structural stability, services, hazardous substances and protection of neighbouring areas are assessed before selecting a demolition method.
What is normally included
- Scoped demolition or strip-out
- Separation and handling of identified waste
- Agreed clearance and disposal records
What is not included
- Demolition without competent assessment
- Undeclared asbestos or other hazardous-material removal
Typical tasks
- Review the removal boundaries
- Arrange the necessary pre-work information
- Plan protection and waste handling
- Carry out the agreed controlled removal
- Provide the specified clearance and disposal records
What to include in your brief
- Elements and quantities to remove
- Plans and structural information
- Service-isolation information
- Hazardous-material survey status
- Waste access and retained-area requirements
Choosing the right professional
Choose a contractor who first checks the structure, services and waste categories. Ask how excluded materials and unexpected discoveries are handled; accepting the cheapest removal-only price without these boundaries can leave significant work unaccounted for.
Important considerations
- Unplanned removal can affect structural stability
- Unknown hazardous materials cannot be treated as ordinary rubble
