A renovation or demolition survey evaluates the materials that will be disturbed by planned work before contractors cut, remove, or demolish them.
Why should the survey happen early?
Early evaluation helps prevent stop-work delays, change orders, unexpected containment requirements, and disposal problems after construction begins.
How is the survey scope determined?
The scope follows the project area. A kitchen renovation, roof replacement, mechanical upgrade, tenant improvement, and full demolition each affect different materials and require different access.
