Residential Interior Demolition (Basement + Full House) — Scarborough

Project snapshot

Location: Scarborough, Toronto (residential home)
Duration: 3 days
Crew: 4–5 workers
Basement floor area: ~650 sq ft
Goal: Full interior strip + basement slab removal to support a lowered basement conversion for future living space.

We completed a full interior teardown to prep for renovation:

Removed all interior finishes and materials as scoped
Pulled out heavy items and scrap (including cast-iron radiators and appliances)
Sorted and staged debris for bin loading

In the basement, the main scope was concrete:

Basement concrete floor demolition: ~650 sq ft
Concrete cutting in the basement to break the slab into manageable sections
Loaded and hauled all broken concrete directly to bins
Cleared the basement fully so the next phase (lowering/underpinning workflow) could proceed without delays

All demo debris and concrete were removed from the property
Heavy scrap (radiators, appliances, etc.) was handled separately and loaded cleanly
Concrete was segmented and carried out in controlled loads to keep the site safe and moving

What affects timeline, cost, and site logistics in basement-heavy demo.

Yes—haul-out and bin loading are typically built into the scope because demo without removal doesn’t move the project forward.

Concrete cutting lets us control piece size, reduce chaos, and move material faster and safer—especially in basements.

Depends on access, volume, and how much concrete is involved. This project was 3 days with a 4–5 person crew.

Yes—slab demo + haul-out is a common first step before the next trades proceed with the lowered-basement plan.
