Interior Demolition for California Tenant Improvements
Selective demolition that clears out the old build-out while protecting building systems, neighbors and the hazardous-material rules California enforces.
Careful removal
Interior demolition removes walls, ceilings, flooring and casework that no longer fit, while protecting sprinkler lines, electrical service, reusable ductwork and the structure. We mark everything that stays before work starts.
- Walls, ceilings and flooring removal
- Make-safe of electrical and plumbing
- Sprinkler drain-down coordination
- Dust control and common-area protection
- Debris sorting for recycling
Testing before demolition
Older California buildings can contain asbestos or lead. Surveys are often required before materials are disturbed, and positive materials are removed by licensed abatement contractors before demolition continues.
Recycling requirements
CALGreen and many cities require construction waste to be diverted from landfill and documented. We separate metals, clean drywall and other recyclables and keep the records for the inspector.
