Commercial Demolition Tips for Charlottesville, VA

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

How is commercial demolition done?

The most common method for commercial demolition is mechanical demolition—the kind performed with heavy machinery, like excavators, bulldozers, wire rope pulls, wrecking balls, etc. This equipment requires qualified professionals, and they can create quite a bit of noise and mess. Lots of dust, vibrations, airborne debris, and more are just some of the things that come with mechanical commercial demolition. The heavy machinery is used to tear down the structure as efficiently and safely as possible while minimizing public health risks.
