Demolition includes removal or destruction of an element that is load-bearing or otherwise related to the physical integrity of a structure. This includes demolition of part of a structure in which elements are inaccessible or unseen (e.g., penetrations in a wall). Fill out a demolition permit to plan and manage demolition works safely.

Depending on the jurisdiction, a license and / or a permit (from the regulator) for demolition may be required.

Demolition can involve multiple high risk construction activities; you must provide safety documentation that addresses:

• Hazardous materials (e.g. asbestos, silica, lead, PCBs, SMFs, other dust)
• Existing services

• Unexpected finds
• Structural support
• Adjacent and adjoining buildings and spaces
• Removal of debris
