Commercial and residential demolition projects that involve removal of a house, garage, outbuilding, barn or another structure typically require a variety of inspections and permits before work can proceed. This is where it pays to have an experienced contractor on your side.
We can walk you through the process from initial consultation, through to pulling permits and scheduling inspections as required. If required, we can manage removal of oil tanks, asbestos and disconnection of utilities. We will then expertly demolish your structure taking care to not damage the surrounding landscape. The material will be loaded into bins and transported to a sorting facility or landfill for disposal.
Commercial demolitions are similar but there are sometimes additional considerations that require extra steps or additional equipment. Whether you’re removing a garage, or an apartment building, we are able to manage all aspects of your demolition in-house, saving you money and time. Big Dig Em can manage both simple and complex jobs while keeping in compliance with all local laws including assessments, permits, reports and more as required.
We handle demolition projects on all Southern Gulf Islands including Pender, Galiano, Mayne, Saturna, Salt Spring and smaller, remote access islands.
We don’t just work here, we live here. As long-time residents of the Gulf Islands, we understand the delicate nature of the local ecosystem and have experience working the land in a way that minimally disturbs it. We have a vested interest in the long term sustainability of the area and work with that in mind.
Whether you’re taking on a minor project or a complete redevelopment of your land, choosing a contractor is a big deal. At Big Dig Em, we’re in the business of exceeding expectations. We will work with you from initial consultation through to final walk through to ensure that you are completely satisfied with our work.
