Homeowners and builders who desire to get rid of buildings, roads or any commercial structures often ask quotations from various demolition companies. However, before choosing a demolition contractor, one should take into consideration some factors that would influence its eligibility. There are thousands of demolition companies existing today like 3-D Construction � (St. Pete, Fl 33704). This article will present some things to consider before hiring a demolition contractor.
The first thing is to check if the demolition contraction in question has a Commercial General Liability policy which includes the tearing down of buildings. Demolition contractors are often exempted in policies that prohibit or limit demolition. A Certificate of Insurance can be acquired from the insurance of the demolition contractor for information on the limits of liability.
The next thing to look into is the demolition permit. This is a certified document issued by the government which permits someone or a company to demolish or tear down a structure and clean the remains of that structure. The question on who maintains this kind of permit must be addressed. The necessity of obtaining this permit will depend upon the regulations stipulated by the county or municipality.
Another thing to consider is to verify if an asbestos survey has been conducted. Building owners or demolition contractors are required by the Environmental Protection agency to inspect the structure for the presence of asbestos prior to commencement of demolition.
It is also important to properly assign accountability in the disconnection of utilities. The corresponding utility service provider must be informed in advance for any demolition activities in the future. Also, it is advisable to inquire if the demolition contractor has obtained a business license. If so, a current copy should be obtained and checked with Better Business Bureau to make sure that the demolition company does not have any negative record.
Another point of consideration is the disposal of the debris. It is important to know on the method and location of the debris resulting from the demolition activities. More often than not, demolition contractors coordinate with disposal service companies for the disposal of debris.
To verify the performance of disposal companies, references could be checked. By getting an idea on the satisfaction felt by its previous customer, one can be guided in choosing the right disposal company.
Before nodding on a quotation, its details must be properly investigated. Check if the quotation is complete in details like piers, sidewalks, foundation, slabs and outbuildings. Other details relevant to a quotation would be the disposal of debris, payment terms when contract is not fully met, countermeasures for change orders prior to demolition, exclusions in the contract, remedy on provisions, party benefiting the recycled materials, and site security during demolition.
Lastly, the property owner should cover himself. It should be made sure that all legal rights for the demolition of structures have been established. If the property is owned by a number of people, a certification signed by the concerned individuals should be made.
Before jumping in the decision to hire a demolition contractor, it is very important to consider the abovementioned things. When one has already considered everything on the list, hiring demolition companies will definitely be effective.
