The Service

What Is Demolition?

Demolition is far more than swinging a wrecking ball. A safe and efficient teardown requires careful planning, the right equipment, and a crew that understands structural engineering, hazardous material handling, and municipal compliance. Rushing this phase puts workers, neighbours, and your project budget at risk.

KD Excavating approaches every demolition project with a detailed assessment first — identifying structural elements, checking for asbestos or hazardous materials, and coordinating utility disconnections before a single bucket swings. The result is a clean, safe, and cleared site ready for whatever comes next.

Our Process

How It Works

01
Structural Assessment
We assess the structure, check for hazardous materials, and identify any utility connections that need to be addressed before demolition begins.
02
Permits & Utility Disconnects
We coordinate all required permits and ensure utilities are safely disconnected before any equipment touches the structure.
03
Safe, Controlled Teardown
Our experienced operators bring down the structure safely, methodically, and with full attention to protecting surrounding property.
04
Full Debris Removal
Every piece of debris is hauled off-site. We leave you a clean, level site ready for whatever comes next — no mess, no surprises.

FAQ

Frequently Asked

Do I need a demolition permit?
Yes — virtually all structural demolition in Ottawa requires a permit from the City. We help you understand exactly what is needed and can advise on the application process.
What about asbestos or hazardous materials?
Older structures often contain asbestos, lead, or other hazardous materials. We coordinate with licensed abatement contractors before demolition begins to ensure full compliance and safety.
How long does a full demolition take?
A standard residential demolition typically takes 1–2 days for teardown and an additional day for debris removal and site cleanup. We give you a firm timeline upfront.
