Commercial Demolition Tips for Lake Preston, SD

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

How should commercial demolition debris be handled?

It is imperative that you have a clear understanding (and written confirmation) of who will be handling debris disposal. Disposal costs vary quite a bit based on the type of debris, local disposal fees, and how close the demolition site is to the landfill or recycling facility.

Speak with the demolition contractors you speak to in order to see how they will handle the resulting debris, how much it will cost, etc.
