Frequently Asked Questions
From Our Customers
؟What exactly does a demolition contractor do
A demolition contractor is a specialized firm or individual responsible for the planned, controlled, and safe dismantling or removal of structures, all while strictly following the Ontario Building Code (OBC) and provincial safety laws.
Here’s a breakdown of what we handle demos from start to finish:
Mandatory Pre-Planning: We start by inspecting the site and developing a detailed safety strategy. This step is critical for legal compliance.
Hazardous Material Check: This is vital. We conduct or commission a Designated Substance Survey (DSS) to detect and safely manage materials like asbestos and lead, in line with provincial regulations.
Utility Disconnection: Before any major work begins, we coordinate with providers (Hydro One, Enbridge Gas, local water services) to ensure all services are safely disconnected and capped – a non-negotiable step for site safety.
The Demolition: Using specialized equipment, we execute the tear-down, whether it’s a full structure removal or selective interior work, with precision, minimizing impact on surrounding properties.
Debris and Cleanup: Once the structure is down, we don’t just leave a mess. We meticulously sort materials for recycling and haul all debris to approved transfer stations, ensuring environmentally responsible disposal.
Site Preparation: We leave the site clean, level, and ready for the next phase of development.
؟How to hire the best contractor for your demo project
Choosing the right contractor is the most important decision you’ll make. It ensures your project is legal, safe, and doesn’t expose you to liability. Follow these key steps:
Verify Credentials: This is absolutely essential. You must get proof of a valid Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) account and current Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance. If they don’t have these, walk away immediately.Review Local Requirements: Check if your municipality (especially in larger urban centres, like Toronto) requires the contractor to hold a specific local license or registration to operate legally.Get Detailed, Itemized Quotes: Ask at least three reputable companies for a comprehensive, written proposal. The price should clearly break down costs for labour, permits, utility work, and the handling of any hazardous materials (like asbestos abatement).Check Their Safety Track Record: Ask about their internal safety program and compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). A responsible contractor will always prioritize site safety and worker training.Research Past Clients: Request references from recent projects similar to yours. A quick call to a previous client provides genuine insight into their reliability and professionalism.Finalize the Contract: Make sure the signed agreement clearly outlines who is responsible for securing the demolition permit and conducting the mandatory pre-work surveys.
