Every job goes this way
Five things, all of them evidenced in their own photographs rather than listed on a services page.
Houses down and hauled away. One review describes two side-by-side houses taken down in Cloverdale, safely and on time.
A purchased lot cleared of debris, then graded and levelled ready for whoever is building on it.
Treed lots opened up and brought to grade, which is the job everything else on the schedule waits for.
Trench boxes and proper shoring, because the depth that matters is the one you can work in safely.
Storm, sanitary and drainage set in the ground before the slab goes over the top of them.
Concrete block walls where the cut needs holding back permanently.
Safely, on time, and the site kept tidy.
From a review about a two-house demolition in Cloverdale. On a demolition job those three things are the entire brief.
Over 30 years
Three decades of it, in a trade where most of the work is invisible by the time anyone sees the finished house.

Every timeline met exactly as promised
Site kept tidy, start to finish
Demolition, excavation, servicing and the machines that do it.








The fleet
Residential lots in the Lower Mainland are tight. The difference between a job that runs and a job that does not is usually whether the machine that turned up fits down the side of the house.
Excavators for lot clearing and demolition
Trucks on site for haul away, not booked separately
Trench shoring so the dig can go to depth safely

The two words that appear in review after review, and the two things a general contractor is actually buying from an excavator.
Shoring in the trench, hoarding at the line, and a site nobody has to walk around nervously.
Every timeline met exactly as promised, because everything scheduled after excavation is waiting on it.
The site kept clean throughout, which is the difference between a neighbour who complains and one who does not.
Three of them, unedited, from your Google profile.
