Choosing demolition over renovation is a difficult decision to make, but in the long run, it can be the best way to make use of your property. With a problematic building cleared away, you can start over with brand new construction completely worry-free. Here are a few indicators that you should opt for for a demolition.

How to Tell if Demolition Is the Correct Choice for a Property

1. Compromised or Faulty Foundations

If the foundation is weak, crumbling, or sinking, it’s time to consider starting over from scratch. Unfortunately, repairing a faulty foundation will only put off the inevitable, and you can save significant amounts of time, money, and effort by clearing the way for new construction. Building with compromised foundations can also lead to plumbing problems and increased mold and mildew growth.

2. Expensive Renovations

Consider your finances first and foremost. If the cost of renovations is more than the price of demolition, the latter is preferable. Renovations are ideal for restoring damages to individual sections or components of a building, but they can never undo extensive or persistent damage.

3. No Space for Additions

It could be that your building wasn’t designed or built to make the best use of available space. If the property could be more efficiently used by a structure built to maximize area and provide options for expansion, demolition could be the answer. If you’re interested in selling the property as a blank canvas, clearing away an awkwardly laid out building can make the lot more appealing.
