Do I need a permit to demolish?

Yes, the municipality issues a demolition permit. We support you through the process and prepare the demolition procedure usually required.

What happens with the debris?

It is loaded, hauled and disposed of at authorized sites; we provide disposal receipts.

Can you demolish and then excavate and build the foundations?

Yes, that is our typical case: at Torre Río de Janeiro we demolished the existing house and later executed the SIAPA hydraulic infrastructure.

How much does a demolition cost?

It depends on structure type, access and debris volume. The indicative range per m² on this page is an initial reference; we quote after a site visit.
