Seven things to sort out before demolition day.

Every one of these has stopped a job on the morning it was due to start.

A partly demolished steel-clad building with debris being sorted by an excavator

1. Utilities disconnected

Gas, electric and water, formally disconnected by the utility rather than switched off at a valve. This takes longer to arrange than people expect and it is the most common reason a start date moves.

2. Asbestos established either way

If the structure predates the 1980s, assume it needs checking. A licensed abatement contractor has to clear it before demolition begins. Finding out on the day stops everything.

3. Permits

Whether one is needed depends on the structure and the jurisdiction. What matters is that somebody has actually checked rather than assumed.

4. Access for a machine

Can an excavator physically reach the structure, and what does it have to cross to get there? Soft ground, a narrow gate, a drive that will not take the weight - all of these change the method and the price.

5. What must survive

Say out loud what is staying: a shared wall, a fence, a tree, a drive, a service running through the site. It is far cheaper to protect something than to reinstate it.

6. Where the debris goes

Confirm removal is in the quote and not a separate job. This is the single biggest difference between two demolition prices that look otherwise identical.

7. What the site is for next

Level ground for a new build, seeded lawn, and hardstanding are three different finishes. Saying which one you want in advance is easier than asking for it after the machine has left.
