Safe, Successful Demolition Projects Start with Good Planning

demolition excavator and project safety

When hiring a demolition contractor for a project, owners must consider various factors and qualifications. Experience, price, safety, reputation, reliability, financial stability, and work quality are all essential to the decision, but many owners tend to overlook a central consideration: what is the demolition contractor’s overall plan for the project? Demolition usually paves the way for the rest of a project to commence, so a smooth, on-schedule demolition phase is a critical part of most projects. Better demolition contractors like R. Baker & Son can provide considerably detailed plans even before a project is awarded. 

A good demolition contractor will present a plan that addresses important questions. What is the site-specific safety plan? How will equipment be mobilized onsite and through what points of access? What steps will be taken to minimize dust, noise, and vibration? Will demolition progress in phases? What are the specific challenges, and how will they be approached? Is shift work recommended for the project and how will costs be held in check? Bidding demolition contractors may also provide marked-up drawings to demonstrate project plans to potential clients. 

A good demolition plan can distinguish superior contractors from the rest of the field, demonstrating greater caring and expertise as well as a deeper understanding of the intricacies of the project. Added costs due to unexpected issues are minimized or eliminated when a demolition contractor has a better grasp of project details. Early, innovative planning and execution allow projects to proceed smoothly to come in on time and on budget. 

With 86 years of experience under our belt, R. Baker & Son clients can rest assured that we approach every potential project with a solid plan aimed at ultimately delivering a successful project.
