How to verify each of these — including how to check any contractor, not just us.

How it works

  1. 01

    Pre-demolition check

    Before anything comes down, we confirm what's in the walls. Older buildings can hide asbestos, and disturbing it during demolition is exactly the hazard testing exists to prevent — so the survey comes first, not after.

  2. 02

    Protection & containment

    Everything that stays is protected, and dust is contained so demolition in one area doesn't damage the rest of the space or spread through the property.

  3. 03

    Selective removal

    We take down only what's scoped — interior walls, finishes, fixtures, kitchens, bathrooms — without compromising the structure or the areas being kept.

  4. 04

    Debris removal & disposal

    Material is sorted and disposed of responsibly, with clean-up treated as part of the job, not an afterthought you're left to handle.

  5. 05

    Ready for the next trade

    The space is left clean and ready for whatever comes next — a rebuild, a renovation, or a fresh finish.

Renovating an older property? Start with a pre-demolition asbestos survey — it's the safe, and often required, first step before anything is opened up.

A planning range for demolition.

Access, structure, and what needs protecting all affect the number, so this is a preliminary range — it narrows once we've seen the space.

Common questions

Do I need an asbestos survey before demolition?

For older buildings, yes — it's the safe and correct first step, and often a regulatory requirement in Ontario. Disturbing asbestos-containing material during demolition is precisely the scenario testing is meant to prevent. We handle both the survey and the demolition, so it's one coordinated job rather than two vendors.

What counts as 'selective' demolition?

Taking down specific parts of a structure — an interior wall, a kitchen, a bathroom, finishes — while protecting everything that stays. It's the norm for renovations, as opposed to demolishing an entire building.

Do you clean up and haul away the debris?

Yes. Debris sorting, removal, and disposal are part of the job. You're left with a clean space ready for the next stage, not a pile to deal with yourself.

Can you work in an occupied building?

Often, yes — with proper containment and scheduling. Commercial and multi-unit demolition frequently happens around ongoing operations, so we scope the containment and timing to fit the space and the people using it.
