Demolition New York
What is Commercial Demolition?
Commercial demolition can be simply explained as the partial or total demolition of a commercial property. These properties can be anything from strip malls to office buildings. Demolition is usually required when a structure is no longer deemed safe or to make way for a new construction project. Either way demolition is an important and vital part to any major renovation or construction project.
While demolition usually means knocking down a structure, it can also refer to the process of stripping down a structure. Stripping is basically taking out all the fittings and appliances and sometimes wiring and piping. Strip outs are usually done when one company leaves a building and another moves in.
Who Does Commercial Demolition?
Commercial demolition should always be done by a licensed and insured demolition company. While most demolition companies do both residential work and commercial work, you need to make sure that the company you choose is experienced and licensed for the kind of commercial demolition that you need done.
As commercial demolition is often done on a large scale, the machinery used is quite sophisticated. In addition to excavators and bobcats, other machinery such as cranes, cutter-crushers, multi-processors, combination shears, and much more are used for demolishing commercial buildings. These machines need to be operated by trained professionals.
As there can be quite a lot of waste in a commercial demolition project, your contractor or company should be more than willing to transport this waste off site for you and dispose of it. Ideally, the company will go through and salvage as much as they can – timber, steel, concrete reinforcement, bricks, and so on – so that these can be recycled and resold, saving you money on the overall cost of the demolition as well as being environmentally responsible.
