Residential and Commercial Phases

BFI Demolition Experts

  1. Preparation:
  2. Remove all items from the area being remodeled, including appliances, fixtures, and personal belongings. This not only protects these items but also provides a clear workspace.
  3. Structural Assessment:
  4. Identify load-bearing walls and structural components. Consult with a structural engineer if necessary to avoid compromising the integrity of the building.
  5. Careful Removal:
  6. Start with non-structural elements such as cabinets, countertops, and fixtures. Use appropriate tools like pry bars, reciprocating saws, and hammers for careful removal.
  7. For flooring, begin at one corner and work your way across the room, using a floor scraper or crowbar to lift tiles or planks.
  8. Disposal of Debris:
  9. Set up a designated area for debris disposal. Use dumpsters or bags to collect waste, ensuring that hazardous materials (like asbestos or lead) are handled according to safety regulations.
  10. Recycle materials whenever possible to minimize environmental impact.
  11. Inspection:
  12. After the demolition is complete, inspect the area for any remaining debris or potential hazards. Ensure that all utilities are safely capped and that the space is ready for the next phase of remodeling.
  13. Documentation:
  14. Take photos of the demolition process for documentation and future reference. This can be useful for project records and for addressing any issues that may arise later.
