Demolition
Demolition
If structural or interior demolition is necessary, we can guide you with the process. We can help you with a contractor referral and estimate.

Why it matters
Test first, then take it down
Demolition disturbs every material in a building. Knowing which hazardous materials are present before the work begins protects the workers, the occupants and the project.
In Ontario, a Designated Substance Survey is required before construction, demolition, or renovation work. We can guide you through the process and help you with a contractor referral and estimate.
