Demolition jobs can be big undertakings, especially if you are doing a big commercial job, so you want to be sure that the job is done right and without problems. You also want to be sure that you know the cost of the residential or commercial demolition project, the work that is to be done, and the date of expected completion.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A DEMOLITION CONTRACT
A demolition contract should outline key areas:
- The exact work that will be performed
- An outline of the demolition schedule
- An expected completion date
- How the payment will be collected
- Other miscellaneous details
Below, we’ll take a look at each of these points a bit more in-depth.
Project Details
It’s important to have in writing the scope of the project so that everyone is on the same page. This also ensures that no details are missed. This will list what building or buildings will be taken down, if the materials are to be hauled away, and how the land will look upon completion. The permit process will most likely be outlined as well, as well as the utility disconnects and any other local or state government requirements or protocols that are required.
Time Frame
Time frame is important to the customer since they most likely are waiting on the demolition process to be completed before they can enter their next planned phase for the building or the land. A start date and expected completion date will be outlined. Some contracts go further and even project what will be done on each day. This helps both parties know if there is an urgency involved in the demolition project.
Payment Cost and Schedule
Payment is a concern to both parties. The customer wants to know exactly how much their residential or commercial demolition project will cost, as well as how that number was derived, which usually includes a breakdown of the individual charges. The payment schedule will be enumerated as well, which can be quite lengthy if the demolition job is complex. The down payment will be listed (probably with a due date for it), as well as a payment schedule. The final payment will have a deadline as well. This helps the customer and the demolition company have clarity so that payments are not missed or skipped.
Other Miscellaneous Details
A lot of demolition projects are straight forward. “Tear down said building” is pretty easy to put down in written form. However, some projects may be more detailed, such as if hazardous wastes are involved, a partial demolition is requested, or it’s more of a deconstruction project (where demolition is done by hand with the intent to salvage building materials). Anything outside the norm should be noted as well.
