Learn what steps to take to prepare your property for demolition.


A demolition project is more than just tearing down a structure — it takes planning, preparation, and the right team. If you’re considering demolition this fall in Maine, here are some steps to ensure your project goes smoothly with Briggs Contracting.


Secure the Necessary Permits
Every demolition requires proper permits. Our team helps you navigate local regulations so the paperwork doesn’t slow you down. We will help you get the permits needed for your demolition project.


Clear Out the Interior
Before your interior demolition project begins, remove personal belongings, appliances, and anything you want to salvage. Some materials can even be recycled or repurposed.


Disconnect Utilities
Gas, water, and electricity must be shut off safely before work starts. This is a critical step to protect both your property and the crew.


Prepare the Surrounding Area
If nearby structures or landscaping need protection, Briggs Contracting can set up barriers to reduce dust, debris, and damage.


Plan for Waste Removal
Demolition produces a lot of material. We handle hauling and disposal so you don’t have to worry about piles of debris.

By preparing ahead of time, you’ll save stress and money.
