Plan your demolition
A clearer plan.
A better brief.
Start with the decision in front of you. These guides help owners, managers and contractors prepare the information a demolition assessment needs.
Start here
Working in an occupied building?
Confirm the removal boundary first. Then coordinate access, the work window and the condition that shared spaces must be returned in.
Plan a residential renovation
Planning interior demolition for a home energy retrofit
An energy retrofit may require access through selected interior finishes without requiring every room to be gutted.
Demolition for a garden-suite project behind a retained house
A proposed garden suite may conflict with an old outbuilding, concrete pad or selected exterior features.
Planning interior demolition for an accessible-home renovation
An accessible-home renovation may change one room or a connected route through several rooms.
Demolition for a combined condo-suite renovation
Combining condo suites creates two related scopes: ordinary removals inside each suite and the separately designed connection between them.
Toronto rental interior release: licence and access are separate
A Toronto rental renovation needs separate decisions about the design, applicable building approvals, rental-renovation licensing and access for work.
Define concrete and building changes
Replacing large equipment: plan the opening and what happens after it is used
Compare existing access, a temporary opening and a permanent alteration for equipment replacement. Define concrete removal, retained structure and closure work.
Concrete removals for charging infrastructure at an existing property
A charging retrofit may need only local concrete changes, or it may coincide with a wider parking-area renewal.
Concrete removal before industrial equipment replacement
An equipment replacement does not always require its existing base to leave.
Concrete removal in a below-grade parking area
Parking-garage concrete removal should follow the rehabilitation team's defined scope.
Commercial stair removal during a renovation
A staircase can be part of the building's structure and circulation, not simply a large interior fixture.
Concrete and interior removals for a commercial lift retrofit
A lift retrofit can require building openings and surrounding interior removal, but the lift supplier and design team must establish the arrangement first.
Concrete removals before a commercial forecourt is rebuilt
A forecourt renewal may replace selected kerbs and walks or change a connected area around the entrance.
Industrial concrete removal during a planned shutdown
A facility closure window is not the same as a released demolition area.
Toronto concrete-work handover: responsibility for slurry and wastewater
Concrete work can produce material and water that need a defined collection and destination arrangement.
