Demolition work requires professional experience and careful planning. It should only ever be carried out by a specialist team of licensed contractors. Choosing the right team for your demolition project is vital to ensure that the work is carried out safely and in accordance with regulations, as well as delivering efficient and effective results. In this blog, we’ve put together a guide on how to choose the right demolition team.
Demolition work can pose some serious safety risks so it’s essential to choose a team you can depend on. Getting to know a demolition company’s track record can help you to decide if they’re trustworthy or not.
Customer references and reviews are a great way to gauge how the team actually performs when they’re on the job. This is just as important as having an impression track record from their own documentation. Take note of any comments about professionalism, timeliness, efficiency, and safety. This helps you to decide whether the team you’re considering can deliver on the standards of service that you require.
If you’re interested in a particular demolition team, make sure you check their licenses and insurance before you commit. Demolition work needs to be carried out to exacting safety standards. If something were to go wrong during the work and you had not checked this information you could be held liable. This is therefore a very important criteria when you’re choosing a demolition team.
A license is your assurance the company has carried out all of the required training and has the right certifications for the project. It is important to verify that the company you choose holds a demolition licence and if asbestos removal is occurring at your property they must hold an asbestos removal licence.
This point ties into previous points. Unfortunately, there are many cowboy operators out there and they will try to undercut reputable companies in order to secure projects. Always be wary of drastically reduced fees as there is usually a catch. Run your checks to see if they are licensed and insured, in many cases the "cheap" companies will not be. There are many ways to check if a company is insured, you can check this via internet search and asking to sight their licence directly through the company. Request examples of their previous work and for proof to ensure you are not being scammed.
Even if they tick all of these boxes, look over the fine print. There may be extra payments or fees in the terms or conditions or lines that state that the quoted price can change at any given moment. In those cases, your final bill will be much higher than you first anticipated.
After checking all of this information it’s likely you have a good idea about whether this demolition team is right for your project. It’s important to only choose a team you are genuinely confident in. Every stage of the demolition process needs to be carefully managed by experts, so you need to feel certain that the demolition team is up to the job.
