Building demolition involves the deliberate dismantling or destruction of a structure, often to make room for new development, address safety concerns, or repurpose the land. This process begins with thorough planning, including assessments of the building's condition, obtaining necessary permits, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Hazardous materials, if present, are safely removed before demolition begins. Depending on the building's characteristics, various methods such as mechanical demolition with heavy machinery or manual dismantling may be employed.
