What's a good way of estimating demolition costs on a land deal?
Do you measure by dollar per square feet? Do you have a specific formula? Any resources I could use for such a thing?
Best way would be by getting an estimate from a contractor.
Are you demo'ing only a free standing building? Is there pavement haul-off needed? Are there underground utilities to be removed? Land/Tree clearing? Some sites require asbestos testing and/or possible environmental testing as well where demolition occurs. If you provide a scope of what you are demo-ing, you may have better luck with someone's experience to comment here, but costs can vary regionally, so a local contractor would give you the best actual estimate.
Okay. Sounds like there isn't a set formula or calculator for it. It comes down to as you say getting quotes from the area. Gotcha. Thanks!
