Tips for Demolishing a Commercial Building
Should I consider deconstructing a commercial building?
Commercial deconstruction is the process of taking apart the structure piece-by-piece; the goal being to salvage as much of the materials inside as possible.
This process is much more time-consuming than traditional mechanical demolition, but it can be quite rewarding.
Salvaged materials can be recycled, re-used, or sold, which could help offset the upfront cost.
How much does commercial demolition cost per square foot?
According to national averages, commercial demolition costs roughly $4-$8 per square foot. As square footage goes up, the cost per square foot can go down.
There are a number of things that can affect the cost of your project.
Common factors that influence the total cost of commercial demolition include:
- Type of materials being demolished
- Total square footage being demolished
- Cost of living in your area
- Accessibility of the work site
- Demolition method used (by hand or with heavy machinery)
- Complexity of the project
- Presence of asbestos or other hazardous material
- Who you hire
