Define removal and retention
Mark the structures, slabs, foundations and hardstanding to be removed on a site plan. Identify retained boundaries, buildings, trees and services. Photographs help explain the scope, but the below-ground extent also needs to be defined where construction will follow.
Assemble the pre-demolition information
Share relevant structural and asbestos surveys, utility isolation information and the project’s approval position. These inputs affect the proposed method and specialist attendance. The scope should state who resolves outstanding surveys and disconnections before the relevant operation begins.
Plan the loading and waste routes
Access controls the machinery, sorting space and collection vehicles that can be used. Show the loading position and any delivery restrictions. Waste arrangements should reflect the actual materials and defined disposal routes rather than assuming every load can be treated in the same way.
Agree the construction starting condition
Clearance can finish at several different points: surface removal, footing removal, a defined excavation level or preparation for new foundations. Choose the required handover and describe exclusions, including unknown obstructions. That gives the demolition and subsequent groundworks packages a common boundary.
