Residential Demolition: Engineering Approach to Private Projects
This section documents the history of projects completed by the DRM Team across Toronto, the GTA, and Thornhill. While our primary focus is on the commercial and industrial sectors, we apply the same rigorous engineering standards to residential detached houses, townhouses, and condominiums.
Our approach to residential demolition eliminates the "sledgehammer-first" mentality. Every case in this portfolio demonstrates the resolution of complex structural tasks, ranging from house extensions to precise interior demolition within confined spaces.
Core Residential Services within Project History:
- Interior Demolition: Complete preparation of houses and condos for renovation.
- Concrete Cutting: Creating precise openings for new windows and doors using professional equipment.
- Trenching: Cutting concrete floors for plumbing and new utility lines.
- Structural Modifications: Preparation for steel beam installations and removal of heavy concrete elements.
- Professional Scanning: Mandatory concrete scanning before any cutting to protect structural integrity and hidden utilities.
We understand the specific risks of residential projects: proximity to neighbors, the necessity of maintaining foundation integrity, and strict deadlines that dictate when the next construction phase can begin. By integrating demolition with specialized concrete cutting and scanning, we provide a single-contractor solution that eliminates the need for multiple teams.
