How long does a typical demolition project take?

The duration of a demolition project depends on several factors:

• Scope of Work: Larger and more complex demolitions take longer than smaller or simpler tasks.
• Size of the Structure: Bigger structures or extensive site clearing require more time.
• Site Conditions: Access to the site, the presence of hazardous materials, and other conditions can affect the timeline.
• Permitting: The time required to obtain permits and approvals can influence the overall duration. On average, most demolition projects are completed within a few days to a couple of weeks.

Are there any environmental considerations for demolition?

Yes, environmental considerations are crucial:

• Material Disposal: We ensure proper disposal of demolition debris and recycling of materials whenever possible to minimize environmental impact.
• Hazardous Materials: Proper handling and disposal of hazardous materials like asbestos or lead are managed in accordance with regulations.
• Site Protection: Implementing measures to protect soil and water from contamination during the demolition process. Silt Fences and Straw wattles may be installed to inhibit soil run-off.

What permits are required for a demolition project in Massachusetts?

Permits for demolition vary depending on the scope and location of the project. Typically, you will need:

• Dig Safe Permit: A permit required for any excavation, demolition, or soil moving on one’s property. Dig Safe helps locate gas and electric utilities underground. The town or city will need to be notified to locate the water line as Dig safe is not responsible for that utility.
• Demolition Permit: A permit specifically for tearing down structures.
• Building Permit: If the demolition is part of a larger construction or renovation project, additional building permits may be required.
• Environmental Permits: If hazardous materials are involved or if the site is subject to environmental regulations, additional permits may be needed.

How do I prepare my property for demolition?

Preparing your property for demolition involves:

• Clearing the Area: Remove personal belongings, furniture, and any items that are not part of the demolition.
• Disconnecting Utilities: Ensure that utilities like water, gas, and electricity are safely disconnected or relocated.
• Securing the Site: Protect surrounding areas with barriers or fencing to ensure safety and minimize disruption.
