All Star Wrecking is a commercial demolition contractor based in Monroe, Connecticut. We take down commercial buildings and structures with excavators, and the debris is sorted and hauled away. Selective and interior demolition ahead of a renovation is part of the work as well. Our background is general construction, including commercial buildings and water main work for cities and towns.
A commercial building demolition runs on somebody else's calendar. An owner has a date set for the next trade, or a builder needs the lot open. We set the work around that date and around what the town needs first. When the building is down, the slab and footings under it are concrete removal.

The demolition permit comes from the building official in the town where the building sits. Connecticut has no county government, so the permit is always a town matter. What each building department wants on top of the state list varies. We tell you what your town will ask for and line the job up around it.
The utilities that serve the building have to cut their service and say so in writing. That comes from the State Demolition Code, and the town wants it before the permit. The owners of the properties next door get notice by certified mail before any demolition starts. Some towns also hold the permit for a waiting period, and state law allows up to 180 days.
Connecticut requires commercial, industrial, institutional and public buildings to be inspected first. A licensed asbestos consultant does that survey before a renovation or a demolition starts. If the survey finds asbestos, a licensed asbestos contractor takes it out before we demolish. The state also wants a demolition notification at least ten days before the start date.
Sometimes only part of a building comes out. Selective demolition removes that part and leaves the rest standing. Interior demolition strips a space back to the structure before a renovation or a new tenant.
Work inside a building that stays up runs in a set order. What holds the building up stays until the plans say otherwise. A licensed electrician cuts the power in the space before anything comes out. Anything that has to be saved gets marked before the first wall goes.
Commercial work usually answers to an owner or a general contractor, so the date matters. A building on a street also gets a site barrier under the State Demolition Code. The code sets that fence at eight feet or more, and the building official can change it. Dust gets wet down with water as the building comes apart.
The debris gets sorted as the building comes apart. Connecticut counts concrete, asphalt, steel and wood as the materials worth recovering from a demolition. Broken concrete, brick and asphalt count as clean fill under the state rules. A recycler can often take them.
Trucking works two ways on commercial jobs. Some owners and builders already have a hauler or a container on the site. Who moves the debris is written into the estimate before the work starts.
When the building is gone the ground has to be left safe. The State Demolition Code says an open cellar hole gets filled to grade and the extra material hauled off. If a new building is going up, the building official can waive that. The hole is then left open for the excavation and the rest of the site work.
