The Importance of Safe Demolition in Modern Construction
Demolition is far more than simply tearing down buildings. In modern construction, it is a highly precise, carefully planned, and safety-critical process. Every structure presents unique challenges, and without proper planning and execution, demolition can pose serious risks to workers, occupants, and the surrounding environment.
At LMS General Contractors, we specialize in self-performed demolition services that integrate environmental abatement, ensuring that every project is conducted safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to surrounding areas.
Types of Demolition We Provide
Every project we undertake begins with a thorough assessment of the building, site conditions, and potential hazards. Based on this evaluation, we provide several types of demolition services:
- Structural Demolition: Complete removal of entire structures, including load-bearing components, with careful attention to safety and efficiency.
- Interior Gut-Outs: Removing interior elements such as walls, ceilings, and fixtures while preserving the structural integrity of the building for renovation or repurposing.
- Selective Demolition: Targeted removal of specific sections or components of a structure, often in preparation for remodeling or environmental abatement.
- Abatement-Integrated Demolition: Combining demolition with the safe removal of hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead, or mold to minimize risks and maintain regulatory compliance.
Each project is carefully planned and executed to eliminate hazards before any demolition begins. This planning ensures that workers are protected, environmental standards are met, and the project is completed efficiently.
Safety Comes First
Demolition can release toxic dust, asbestos fibers, and other harmful debris, making safety an absolute priority. LMS strictly follows OSHA and EPA guidelines to protect both workers and the surrounding community.
Our safety measures include:
