From Demolition to New Beginnings: Planning Your Spring Build by Starting in the Late Fall
Big projects take time, and if you’re dreaming of a new build next spring, the best place to start is with a late-fall demolition.
At Briggs Contracting, we know timing is everything when it comes to construction, and starting now can set you up for success. Fall is one of the smartest — and most overlooked — windows to prepare for a spring build. By planning ahead, you position your project for a smoother, more efficient start.
Get the Hard Part Out of the Way
Demolition is the first major step toward any fresh build. By clearing your property this fall, you’ll be ready to break ground the moment the weather warms up. Instead of waiting for availability or battling unpredictable spring conditions, your site will already be prepped, inspected, and ready for action.
Avoid Spring Backlogs
Spring is one of the busiest times for contractors in Maine. Waiting until then to start demolition could mean long delays and limited scheduling options. Fall demolition gives you a head start, more flexibility, and the ability to move into construction right as demand peaks — not behind it.
Plan Ahead for Design and Permits
Clearing your site in the fall gives you the advantage of time. You’ll have the entire winter to work with designers, finalize plans, review material options, and secure the necessary permits. Without the pressure of rushing, you can make thoughtful decisions that set the tone for a successful build in the spring.
Save on Costs and Time
Delays can be costly, especially when weather, scheduling, or material availability become factors. By preparing now, you minimize the risk of setbacks and ensure your project stays on track. Early demolition often means fewer surprises and a more predictable construction timeline.
Enjoy Your New Space Sooner
Whether it’s a new home, commercial space, addition, or major renovation, starting demolition now means you’ll be enjoying your finished project sooner — instead of waiting another full year for everything to line up.
At Briggs Contracting, we make the demolition process safe, efficient, and stress-free. If you're thinking about building in the spring, take the first step this fall. Reach out today and let us help you lay the groundwork for a successful start.
