Survey
Structure, load paths, services, and what shares a wall with it.
Down in sequence,
not pulled over.
Taking a structure down is mostly a question of order. Get the order right and it comes apart predictably. Get it wrong and it comes apart on its own terms.

01 / Scope
What this covers
Whole structures, and detached structures on a property. Residential and commercial.
02 / Order
Why order matters
A structure is a system of load paths. Removed in the right sequence, each stage leaves what remains stable enough to keep working on. Removed carelessly, the building sets the sequence instead, usually while somebody is standing in it.
03 / Site
The site around it
On attached and semi-attached lots the neighbour is the constraint that shapes the whole job: party walls, shared footings, and the gap you actually have to work in.
The sequence
How the structure comes down
Disconnect
Services cut back to the point they can safely be cut back to.
Take down
Sequenced from the top, and from the non-structural inward.
Clear the lot
Material removed and the ground left workable.
04 / Proof
What we will not claim
Structure work carries legal requirements. We will not tell you the required approvals are in place unless that is demonstrably true. Ask us directly what we hold before you hire us.
