// Our Process
From Site Walk to Build-Ready.
Commercial demolition is a coordination game — permits, neighbors, utilities, and trades. Here's how we keep the project on rails.
01
Site Walk & Scoping
We walk the property with you (or your GC), document existing conditions, identify hazards, and scope the project — typically within 1–2 business days of your first call.
02
Permits & Notifications
We pull every permit (demolition, asbestos clearance, right-of-way, NPDES) and notify adjacent tenants and neighbors. You don't deal with the city — we do.
03
Mobilization & Demolition
Site fenced, dust controls in place, and crew on site — typically within 1 week of permit issue. We work nights and weekends if your project requires minimal daytime disruption to neighboring tenants.
04
Haul-Off & Site Clearance
All debris segregated and hauled — concrete recycled, metals scrapped, finishes landfilled correctly. You get a swept, build-ready site.
05
Permit Close-Out
Final inspections scheduled, every permit closed out cleanly with the city, and a final report handed over so the next trade can mobilize without a single permit issue.

Common Questions from Commercial Clients
Everything you need to know before greenlighting a commercial demolition project in South Florida.
How much does commercial demolition cost in Miami?
Commercial demolition costs in South Florida vary based on building size, materials, location, and whether it's selective or full demolition. As a rough range, interior strip-outs typically run $3 to $7 per square foot, while full-building commercial demolition usually falls between $30,000 and $400,000+ depending on size and site complexity.
We give detailed line-item quotes after a site walk so you see exactly what drives the price.
Do commercial demolition projects need permits in Miami-Dade?
Yes — every commercial demolition in Miami-Dade requires permits, and most require more than one. You'll typically need a demolition permit, asbestos abatement clearance, utility disconnect coordination, stormwater/NPDES compliance, and sometimes right-of-way permits depending on the site.
We pull and manage every permit so you don't deal with the city. We also notify adjacent tenants and neighbors before mobilization.
How long does a commercial demolition project take?
Most interior strip-outs run 1 to 3 weeks on site, while full-building commercial demolition typically takes 2 to 8 weeks depending on size and complexity. Add 4–8 weeks of permitting, abatement, and utility disconnect time before mobilization.
Schedules are firm. We communicate proactively if weather or city delays change anything.
Can you work nights or weekends to avoid disrupting neighboring tenants?
Yes. For projects in active retail centers, hotels, or office complexes, we routinely schedule night and weekend work to keep daytime business operations unaffected. Local noise ordinances are factored in and we coordinate with property management for after-hours access.
Do you handle interior demolition only — or full building too?
Both. We handle full-building commercial demolition as well as selective interior demolition — surgically removing finishes, walls, floors, ceilings, slabs, MEP, and structural elements while keeping the rest of the building intact and operational.
What areas do you serve for commercial demolition?
We handle commercial demolition projects throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Frequent project areas include Miami, Hialeah, Doral, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Aventura, West Palm Beach, and the major commercial corridors throughout South Florida.
