Demolition Cost Factors

1. Building size. Cost associated with demolition are typically based on the building's square footage.

2. Permits. Specific permit requirements and costs vary depending on where you live, but are almost always required for demolition projects.

3. Labor costs in your area. The typical price per foot for demolition varies a little bit from place to place.

4. Removal of hazardous substances. There is always an additional charge for removing hazardous substances like asbestos and lead. Their removal must be completed prior to demolition and all tainted debris must be kept separate from other materials.

5. Building construction material. Brick and cinder block are more difficult to demolish and will cost you more per square foot than wood.

6. Difficulty of debris removal. The weight of the dumpster containing the debris and the distance of the demo site from the landfill can both impact the cost of your project.

7. Foundation removal. Standard demolition costs do not always factor in foundation removal. If you also wish to demolish a foundation or basement, the cost per square foot will increase. Basements can be especially expensive because they require backfilling with soil material, which requires additional hauling, grading, and tamping.
