To demolish something can be simple, but to demolish something properly takes responsibility, experience, and careful planning. de maximis Project Managers and Construction Managers provide our clients with the services necessary to ensure the safe and cost-effective decommissioning and demolition of a wide variety of facilities across the country.

We are responsible for the careful upfront planning of the project, working with the primary Contractor to develop a Building Decommissioning Assessment (BDA) to inventory and characterize all of the materials that will undergo decommissioning and demolition. With information regarding material types, volumes, and contents (e.g. hazardous/non-hazardous, meaningful specifications, bids and budgets can be developed to take advantage of the maximum amount of reclamation and recycling of material. The BDA also provides the necessary health information to properly manage the demolition activities without any additional risk to the surrounding community and facilities.

Our Project Managers are also well versed in environmental remediation, which can often become part of the decommissioning/demolition process as it proceeds. With day-to-day involvement with the Contractor, acting as the client advocate, we confirm that the contract documents are being followed and our client’s commercial interest are protected. Once the project is complete, we prepare the final project closeout documents and cost information.
