Selective Demolition in Vancouver — The Demo Sub That Protects Your Schedule
Scope-disciplined selective demo for GCs, renovators, and TI contractors across Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and the Fraser Valley. Our crew, our bins, our trucks — one invoice, same-week mobilization, and a broom-clean handoff your next trade can start on.
Why GCs Sub Their Selective Demo to Us
You've dealt with demo subs that blow the scope, ding the finishes that stay, and leave you chasing a separate bin company while your framers stand around. We run selective demo the way you'd run it: scoped on a site walk, protected before the first cut, and cleared as we go on our own bins and trucks.
Load-bearing removals get coordinated with your engineer and shored to spec. Occupied buildings get containment and after-hours scheduling. And when we hand off, the site is broom-clean with debris already gone — no bin sitting in the client's driveway for a week. One sub, one invoice, no coordination overhead on your side.
- Demo, bins, hauling, and cleanup on one invoice
- Scope discipline: what stays, stays — protected and documented
- Shoring and temporary support coordinated with your engineer
- Load-as-we-go debris removal — no bin swap delays
- Broom-clean handoff your next trade starts on, same day
What We Remove — and What We Protect
Every selective demo starts with a clear scope. Here's what our Vancouver crew typically handles.
We Remove
- Interior and partition walls (incl. load-bearing with engineering)
- Kitchen cabinetry, countertops & appliances
- Bathrooms down to studs — tubs, tile, vanities
- Flooring: hardwood, tile, carpet, laminate, subfloor
- Drywall, ceilings & T-bar grid systems
- Fixtures, millwork, closets & built-ins
- Decks, fences & exterior attachments
- Storefronts & tenant improvement strip-outs
We Protect
- Structural framing, posts & beams staying in place
- Finished floors, stairs & millwork you're keeping
- Windows, doors & building envelope
- Live electrical, plumbing & HVAC systems
- Adjacent tenant spaces in occupied buildings
- Heritage features & character elements
Our Selective Demolition Process
Four steps from first call to broom-clean handoff — all handled by one crew on one invoice.
1. Site Walk & Quote
We walk the site with you or your super, confirm the scope line by line, flag utilities, hazmat, and permit issues, and quote the job all-in — demo, bins, hauling, and cleanup.
2. Protection & Prep
Floor protection goes down, dust barriers go up, and services are located and capped. What you're keeping gets treated like it's already finished.
3. Precision Demo
Our crew removes the scoped elements methodically — hand demo where it matters, machine-assisted where it's safe — loading debris into our on-site bins as we go.
4. Haul-Away & Broom-Clean
Debris goes to certified facilities on our own trucks. The site is swept and handed off broom-clean, ready for your framers, plumbers, or electricians.
Selective Demo Projects We Handle in Vancouver
Residential Renovations
Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and open-concept conversions — demo'd clean so your finishing trades aren't repairing our damage.
Tenant Improvements
Commercial strip-outs in occupied buildings, with containment and scheduling that respects neighbouring tenants.
Heritage & Character Homes
Hand demo that protects original features, trim, and structure — and keeps you onside with heritage retention requirements.
Pre-Construction Prep
Partial demo ahead of additions, seismic upgrades, and structural work — coordinated with your engineer and GC.
The Questions GCs Ask Before Booking Us
Off a site walk, not guesswork. We walk the scope with you or your super, confirm what stays and what goes, and quote one all-in number covering labour, bins, hauling, disposal fees, and broom-clean cleanup. One invoice, no bin rental line items.
