Selective demolition and dismantling — Demolition company
Mark exactly what stays, what is removed and which items should be salvaged. Photographs, surveys and a proposed reuse destination help the contractor distinguish careful dismantling from ordinary waste removal and identify unknown structural connections.
Service scope
Removal of specified elements while retaining the rest of a building or recovering designated materials for reuse. The selection and sequence require competent planning; recovery objectives do not justify assuming an element is removable without affecting stability.
What is normally included
- Element-specific removal schedules
- Protection of retained construction
- Agreed salvage and separation of materials
What is not included
- Guaranteed reuse of every removed component
- Unassessed removal of supporting elements
Typical tasks
- Review retained and removed elements
- Identify salvage priorities
- Coordinate structural and material assessments
- Complete authorised selective removal
- Record recovered items and retained-building condition
What to include in your brief
- Marked drawings
- Retention and salvage schedule
- Available surveys
- Access and storage for recovered items
- Required condition of adjoining construction
Choosing the right professional
Ask how the provider will protect retained elements and judge whether salvage is feasible. Agree ownership and handling of recovered items, and do not treat a reuse target as a guaranteed percentage or proof that every component can be removed intact.
Important considerations
- Hidden connections can make selective removal more complex
- A recovered item may not be suitable for its proposed new use
