Commercial Demolition Tips for Linn County, IA

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
