INTERIOR DEMOLITION

Interior demolition sets the tone for everything that follows. Done properly, the next trade walks into a clean, square, fully documented shell. Done poorly, you inherit hidden damage, failed inspections and delays. Ariel Construction performs selective and full interior demolition with engineered protection, controlled dust and noise, verified utility shutoffs, and complete debris removal and recycling documentation.

What's Included

Pre-Demo Survey

We identify load-bearing elements, existing utilities, and anything requiring specialty abatement before touching a wall.

Protection

Temporary partitions, dust barriers, negative air, floor and elevator protection, and protected egress paths.

Utility Safe-Off

Licensed electrical, plumbing and mechanical disconnects verified and tagged before demolition begins.

Selective Demolition

Removal of only the designated scope, protecting what stays — slabs, columns, storefront and base-building systems.

Debris Management

Containerized removal, recycling where required, and dump tickets for LEED or landlord documentation.

Turnover

Swept, square, documented shell photographed and ready for layout and framing.

Our Process

Survey

Walk the space, mark scope on drawings and flag structural or hazardous conditions.

Permit & Protect

File where required, notify building management, then install all protection.

Demolish

Sequenced removal with dust and noise control, after hours when the building requires it.

Clear

Haul, clean, photograph and hand over a shell that's ready for the next trade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you do structural or exterior demolition?

We focus on interior and selective demolition. Non-structural removal is routine; structural openings are done with an engineer's drawings and the required permits.

Can demolition happen while the building is occupied?

Yes. We build dust barriers, run negative air, protect egress paths, and schedule noisy work for nights or weekends per building rules.

Who handles asbestos or hazardous material?

If a survey identifies regulated material, a licensed abatement contractor removes it under proper protocol before our demolition proceeds. We coordinate the sequence.

Is debris removal included?

Yes — containers, hauling, recycling and dump tickets are part of our scope, including documentation landlords or LEED programs require.

How fast is a typical interior strip-out?

A small suite is often a few days. A full floor of 10,000 to 20,000 square feet typically runs one to three weeks depending on building access and work hours.

Selective Demolition Versus A Full Strip-Out

Selective demolition removes only defined elements — a few partitions, a ceiling grid, a section of flooring — while the rest of the interior stays intact and often stays in use. It demands more planning than a full strip-out, because every cut line has to protect adjacent finishes and every disconnect has to leave live systems serving the space that remains. A full strip-out takes an interior back to bare shell: slab, columns, perimeter, and base-building risers. We do both, and we'll tell you honestly which one your project actually needs, since a strip-out is often cheaper and faster than a heavily conditional selective demo.

Protection, Dust Control And Working In Live Buildings

Most of our demolition happens in buildings that never close. That means hard temporary partitions rather than plastic sheeting where the building requires it, negative air machines with HEPA filtration, tacky mats and masonite floor protection, protected and code-compliant egress at every stage, elevator pads and reserved freight windows, and noise-generating work confined to approved hours. We carry the insurance certificates building managers ask for and we leave common areas cleaner than we found them — which is precisely why property managers keep sending us back.

Demolition Documentation That Protects Your Project

Before demolition we photograph existing conditions and mark the scope on drawings. During demolition we log utility safe-offs, unexpected conditions and any structural findings. After demolition we deliver photographs of the cleared shell along with dump tickets and recycling records. That paper trail settles disputes with landlords over pre-existing damage, supports LEED waste-diversion credits, and gives the design team accurate as-found conditions before framing starts.
