If you're involved in construction or are a developer, you may also have to hire a demolition company. Demolishing or excavating a building is a major task you don't want to trust just any contractor. According to IBISWorld, over 22,435 people work in the demolition industry. Here are three questions to ask a demolition company before hiring them.

1. What Are Your Scheduling Restrictions?

In most cases, you may have time to properly plan out a demolition of an old building you plan on constructing a different one over. What if you have an emergency? One example may be finding out that a building you own is in danger of collapsing at any time. Hiring a local demolition company can ensure it is properly demolished before it comes down on its own. In that case, you may want to look for a company that offers 24/7 communication and emergency services.

2. What Is the Timeline?

The company you hire may be dealing with demolition or other site preparation. It's a good idea to know what the estimated timeline for completion is. After all, you’re likely waiting for them to finish their part so you can get the ball rolling on actual construction and further development. By having a set timeline, you can avoid any delays and going over budget.

3. What Experience Do You Have?

When you need related services from your demolition company, you want to ensure they have the right amount of experience. Ask them whether they worked in commercial or residential demolition. You should also ask how long the company has been in operation. Of course, you should ask them for direct references so you can speak to their past clients directly. Checking online reviews will give you a better idea of their work quality.

Always do your due diligence when looking for a professional demolition company. After all, this is a dangerous job, but it's a vital first step in moving forward with site development.
