A full building teardown is the complete demolition of a structure — from roof to foundation — and the removal of all debris, leaving a clean, level lot ready for new construction. We handle residential homes, garages, additions, commercial buildings, and industrial structures across Toronto and the GTA.
A full building teardown is the complete demolition of a structure — from roof to foundation — and the removal of all debris, leaving a clean, level lot ready for new construction. We handle residential homes, garages, additions, commercial buildings, and industrial structures across Toronto and the GTA.
Our crews work across Toronto and all 30 GTA municipalities — we know the local permit offices, soil conditions, and site constraints that affect your project.
We photograph the structure and adjacent properties, confirm setbacks, check for shared walls or easements, and document the site's condition before work begins.
Toronto and GTA utilities must be formally disconnected before demolition: Hydro, Enbridge gas, water, sewer, and telecom. We coordinate all disconnection orders and ensure sign-offs are in hand.
Pre-1990 structures commonly contain asbestos, lead paint, and other regulated materials. Abatement is legally required before demolition under Ontario O. Reg. 278/05. We coordinate with certified abatement contractors.
Full demolition requires a Demolition Permit from the local municipality. Toronto Building and GTA municipalities require a completed permit application, utility disconnection confirmations, and sometimes tree protection plans.
Using excavators, skid steers, and hand-held equipment as the job demands, we demolish from top to bottom — roof, walls, floor systems, then foundation as required.
All demolition material is sorted, loaded, and hauled to licensed facilities. The excavated area is backfilled and graded to a clean, flat lot.
A Demolition Permit is mandatory for full building teardowns in Toronto and all GTA municipalities. Toronto Building also requires a Tree Preservation Plan if trees within 6m of the work zone may be affected. Permit timelines: typically 3–6 weeks in Toronto; faster in some GTA municipalities. We can assist with the application package.
Permit requirements vary by municipality and scope. We'll identify what's required during the site visit and advise on expected timelines.

"Straight talk, fair price, solid work. They showed up when they said they would and left the site cleaner than they found it."
