Selective Commercial Demolition
Precision Selective Demolition for Active Sites
Selective demolition takes careful planning, coordination, and tight control of the work area. Alpine Demolition Services handles targeted removal inside occupied commercial buildings across the Chicagoland area. Our crews remove specific walls, ceilings, flooring, and mechanical components while protecting the structure and neighboring spaces. Every project starts with a detailed scope review so our work lines up with renovation plans and engineering requirements.
Active sites come with real challenges. Tenants may still be in place, and nearby businesses often remain open. We phase work around construction schedules, isolate demo zones, and maintain clearly defined access points. Dust containment, debris-handling procedures, and clear signage help keep buildings orderly while work is underway. Ongoing communication with property managers and general contractors keeps the schedule moving and helps avoid unnecessary disruption.
Permit Management and Municipal Coordination
In commercial settings, selective demolition often requires municipal approval before any work starts. We manage demolition permits, utility disconnect paperwork, and required inspections in line with local codes. Each municipality in Chicagoland has its own process, and knowing those procedures helps keep projects on track. Getting in front of local building departments early reduces the risk of administrative delays.
Our team handles the paperwork, coordinates directly with city departments, and matches demolition schedules to inspection timelines. When partial utility shutdowns are needed for safe system removal, we work with the providers to get them done. This level of coordination lightens the administrative load for owners and helps maintain compliance from start to finish.
Safety-First Approach to Commercial Demolition
Demolition demands disciplined execution inside buildings that may still be occupied or structurally active. Alpine follows OSHA regulations and builds a site-specific safety plan for every project. These plans address structural stability, debris control, equipment use, fall protection, and public safety. We perform risk assessments before work begins so potential hazards are identified and managed in advance.
Ahead of demolition, our team reviews drawings, identifies load-bearing elements, and evaluates mechanical systems that must stay online. When needed, we install temporary shoring or protective barriers. We also match equipment to space constraints and structural conditions to keep removal controlled and predictable. Daily safety meetings and documented inspections help maintain accountability and reinforce standards throughout the job.
Turnkey Services From Planning to Site Restoration
We provide full-service support for selective demolition projects. We start with a site review and scope evaluation, then move into scheduling, coordination, and execution that fits your construction timeline. We work closely with owners, facility managers, and general contractors to sequence demo activities in a way that supports upcoming trades. Accurate estimating and careful planning help reduce unexpected scope changes once construction is underway.
After demolition is complete, we manage debris removal, site cleanup, and prep for follow-on work. Materials are sorted for disposal or recycling where it makes sense. When needed, we can also handle light structural modifications, floor prep, and basic grading so the area is ready for build-out. With Alpine, clients get a single point of responsibility from initial planning through final site restoration.
