Commercial Demolition Tips for Toddville, IA

How much does commercial demolition cost per square foot?

According to national averages, commercial demolition costs roughly $4-$8 per square foot. As square footage goes up, the cost per square foot can go down.

There are a number of things that can affect the cost of your project.

Common factors that influence the total cost of commercial demolition include:

  • Type of materials being demolished
  • Total square footage being demolished
  • Cost of living in your area
  • Accessibility of the work site
  • Demolition method used (by hand or with heavy machinery)
  • Complexity of the project
  • Presence of asbestos or other hazardous material
  • Who you hire

Does commercial demolition require a permit?

Before performing any commercial demolition, you'll need to be sure you have the necessary permits and inform utility companies of plans to perform demolition.

Demolition permits cost $200 on average, but because costs are dependent on where you're located and the extent and complexity of the work being done, permits can sometimes reach as high as $10,000.

Permit cost is generally included in the price of your demolition service, but be sure to confirm this with your contractor when you get your written demolition estimate.
