How Commercial Building Demolition is Priced

by Mohit J. White Hat Link Building Services

If you have a commercial building that needs to be taken down then you will need to look for an expert demolition company Toms River.Sometimes a property is not safe or is just not worth fixing up for it to be safe to be used. That means bringing it down and then starting over. Or you might just want the property the building is on. Whatever the reasons you will likely wonder what the cost of such work will be. The average in the US is between $30,000 to $35,000. It is a fairly significant investment so here is how four factors impact the cost of a commercial building demolition.

 

Size of the property

One of the main factors is the size of the project or the square footage. Square and rectangular buildings are easier to work out. Just measure the width and length of the property, multiply those two numbers and you can get the square footage. The average cost for commercial demolition is between $4 and $8 per square foot. 1000 square feet means $4000 to $8000 as an estimated cost. The larger the property the lower the rates the companies tend to offer. Other factors will then add to that estimate.

 

Permit and license costs

Another thing that impacts the cost when you hire a demolition company Toms River or anywhere, is the fees involved when needing permits and licenses. These are a lot harder to guess since it changes depending on where you are, urban versus rural, the size of the project and so on. The average is $200. Many demolition experts will include the cost of getting these permits in their quote to you, but some might not so you should ask.

 

Waste disposal

Many contractors handle waste disposal but it cannot be assumed. A deep cleaning company in Lakewood might be able to help or you might have to ask the contractors to handle it for an additional charge. Make sure you know if hauling fees are included and how much they add up to.

 

If there is any Asbestos

If the building has been around since before the eighties then there is a chance there could be hazardous materials such as Asbestos. This takes special equipment and rules to remove. It is most commonly found in boilers, cement sheets, furnaces, steam pipes and floor tiles. Most demolition services can offer professional removal but it adds to the cost of the project. The average cost per square foot for removal of Asbestos is $2 to $3.

 

Summary

When you are more aware of what the costs are for demolition work you can better judge whether a quote you have received is fair. Then you can get several quotes and choose the best option for you. Knowing ahead of time helps you prepare to have what you need for the budget. It is important to call in experts with the proper experience, equipment and training for this kind of work.
