Commercial demolition FAQs
Before you send the scope.
Practical answers for preparing an initial project review.
Does commercial demolition require a permit?
Permit requirements depend on the removal scope, structural impact, building systems and local requirements. ROXA identifies known scope boundaries during review, while the owner, consultant or general contractor confirms the applicable permit path.
Who disconnects electrical, plumbing and gas services?
Live electrical, plumbing, gas and mechanical services must be isolated and made safe by the responsible licensed trade before affected demolition begins. ROXA can then remove confirmed non-live interior components included in the approved scope.
Can commercial demolition happen after hours?
Yes, when building rules, access, noise restrictions and the approved schedule allow it. Evening, night or weekend work is coordinated during project review rather than assumed.
How is dust controlled in an occupied building?
Controls may include temporary containment, protected circulation paths, HEPA-filtered equipment, localized extraction, sealed debris movement and daily cleanup. The required controls are matched to the building and scope.
What happens to commercial demolition waste?
Carpet, concrete, wood and metals are separated for recycling where the project and receiving facilities allow. Paint, oils, fluorescent lamps and other regulated materials are kept out of general debris and routed through appropriate approved disposal channels.
How long does an office strip-out take?
Duration depends on area, materials, floor level, access, permitted hours, utility isolation, waste volume and whether the work must be phased. Drawings and a walkthrough allow a project-specific sequence to be prepared.
Can ROXA work from drawings?
Yes. Drawings, reflected ceiling plans, demolition notes and site photos can establish an initial scope. A walkthrough is used where site conditions, retained elements or access requirements need confirmation.
What is excluded from a standard demolition scope?
Structural alterations, live utility disconnection, designated-substance abatement, engineering and permit services are not automatically included. Any required specialist work is identified and documented before mobilization.
