The Residential Home Demolition Process
1. Schedule a Site Visit
To schedule a site visit, simply contact us. We will arrange a convenient time to visit the site and discuss your project in detail. For complete home demolitions, your presence typically is not required while we walk the site and take measurements. Just give us a call, and we'll handle the rest.
2. Receive a Proposal
After assessing your project, we will email you a detailed proposal. This proposal will outline all the necessary services and pricing for completing your project, including any exclusions and optional services such as permit acquisition and environmental considerations like silt fence or tree protection, if required. Our goal is to clearly define all demolition services in the proposal, ensuring our clients have a comprehensive understanding of what is included and excluded.
3. Site Preparation
Once you accept the proposal and permits are obtained, we will begin preparing for home demolition. This includes disconnecting utilities, installing erosion control, and setting up tree protection if needed. Our thorough preparation process ensures a smooth transition to the demolition phase.
4. Demolition
With the site prepared, permits in place, and all required processes completed, we will commence the demolition process. The duration of home demolition can vary based on the structure's size, but typically, it takes between 1 and 3 days for an average-sized home in Austin. After demolition, we will perform rough grading and final cleanup, leaving the site ready for the next steps in your construction plan.
What Our Customers Say
In Austin, a permit is required to demolish a home. The permit assures the house doesnt have historical significance, tree and erosion protection are in place, and utilities have been removed or cut off.
In Austin, residential demolition costs typically vary between $5 to $9 per square foot, influenced by several factors. Key determinants include the type of foundation (pier and beam vs. concrete slab), the exterior material (masonry, stone, or wood), and accessibility for machinery. Additional considerations such as driveways, patios, tree protection and erosion control will add to the total cost.
Normally, the demolition process for structures ranging from 1000- 2000 sq ft is completed within 1-2 days. Additional considerations, such as concrete foundations or large driveways, may extend the timeline by an extra day.
As part of the demolition permitting process, homeowners must be notified. In compliance with Austin regulations, a yard sign and door flyers, provided by the inspector, must be strategically placed 5-10 days before demolition, following the city's specific instructions. Furthermore, Havlick Services typically engages in direct communication with the homeowners on either side of the demolition site. This proactive approach involves addressing questions, offering information, and providing contact details to ensure a seamless and considerate process for the affected neighbors.
