5 min read · Updated 2026-10-30
For commercial demolition, line up the asbestos survey, utility disconnects, permit, insurance certificates and protection for shared walls and neighbors, then put the finished site condition in writing.
Before you request quotes
Gather plans, the schedule and what must stay. For partial demolition, identify shared walls, utilities and occupied neighboring units.

Settle these before the first machine arrives.
