Commercial Building Demolition in District of Columbia

How much does it cost to demolish a commercial building?

There are a number of factors that affect how much commercial demolition will cost. The size of the building, the materials used to build it, whether or not hazardous materials are present, permit fees, disposal fees, and more will all play a role in the overall cost of demolition. The average cost to demolish a commercial structure is roughly $4-$8 per square foot, but the average cost per square foot goes down as the square footage of the project goes up.

How do I choose the right commercial demolition expert?

Commercial building demolition via explosion and/or implosion is the most efficient of all the various commercial demolition methods. But due to the various public health risks that go along with these explosions—like air quality concerns and airborne debris—this method is only suitable when demolition or deconstruction are not viable options. Due to the precision and skill required to accurately and safely execute an explosive/implosive demolition, it is imperative that you hire an experienced contractor. They will be able to accurately calculate and control the explosion to ensure the commercial structure comes down quickly and precisely.
