Teardown and rebuild projects combine demolition and new-construction site prep into one sequence — clearing the old structure and its debris, then grading and preparing the lot for the new build, often with existing utility infrastructure…
A teardown-rebuild isn't just demolition followed by standard new-construction prep — the old foundation footprint, existing utility connections, and any buried infrastructure from the original structure all affect how the new site prep gets sequenced. Old foundation material has to be fully removed rather than just covered over, since building on top of old foundation debris or disturbed fill is a common cause of settling problems in a new structure.
Size and construction type of the structure being torn down, whether asbestos or other hazardous material disposal is required (common in older structures, triggering separate filings), and how much regrading the new build needs once the old structure and its foundation are fully removed.
We handle the full sequence — demolition, debris removal, and new-construction site prep for the rebuild — so nothing gets lost in a handoff between separate contractors.
That requires separate filings and specialized disposal handling before general demolition proceeds. We'll flag it during the site walk if the structure's age or condition suggests it's a concern.
Not directly — old foundation material has to be fully removed and the area properly regraded and compacted before new construction, rather than building over disturbed or buried debris.
