What Is Demolition Estimating?
Demolition estimating means working out what has to be removed, how much waste it makes and what the work costs. We measure the plans, list each item, and price labour, plant, waste and tipping.
Photos help us see access and condition. Plans are still the best starting point, because they show what is to be removed and what stays.
What Our Demolition Estimates Include
Strip-out and removal
Internal strip-out and removal of linings and fixtures.
Structural and partial demolition
Walls, roofs and structure removed, as shown on the plans.

Removal of slabs, footings and concrete.
Waste, bins and tipping
Waste volumes, bin hire and tipping allowances.
Site protection and making good
Site protection, temporary works and making good.

How a Demolition Takeoff Is Measured
Each item is listed with a unit of measure, so you can check it against the plans. This is the format we use for the main items.
| Item | Unit | How it is measured |
|---|---|---|
| Internal strip-out | m2 or allowance | Wall and ceiling areas to be removed, from the plans |
| Wall demolition | m2 or lineal metres | Measured from the floor plans and elevations |
| Roof removal | m2 | Area measured from the roof plan |
| Slabs and footings | m3 or m2 | Area and thickness from the plans and sections |
| Waste | m3 or bins | Calculated from the quantities removed |
| Site protection | Allowance | Stated in the estimate and agreed with you |
| Plant and labour | Hours or days | Allowance, based on the scope |
| Making good | m2 or allowance | Measured where new work meets the old |
