How much does commercial demolition cost?

On average, commercial demolition costs between $4-$8 per square foot. The cost per square foot also goes down as the square footage of the project increases. Other factors that affect commercial demolition cost include:

  • Project size
  • Permit fees
  • Materials used in construction
  • Whether or not hazardous materials are present
  • Debris cleanup and disposal

The heavy machinery is used to tear down the structure as efficiently and safely as possible while minimizing public health risks.
