What is soft strip demolition?
Soft strip demolition is the process of removing non-structural features from the inside or outside of a building. This is performed to facilitate general demolition, refurbishing, or remodelling of properties. Our expert team will remove fittings and fixtures, internal ceilings, internal walls, equipment, electrical fittings, and temporary structures safely and to your specifications.
Soft strip demolition differs from general demolition as it is the process performed before the demolition of a building, removing the temporary structures in place and only leaving the frame of a building. General demolition will involve the use of specialist equipment such as bulldozers and controlled explosives, in order to safely demolish buildings in their entirety.
DES will conduct a survey of your site to ensure the removal of these fixtures can be carried out efficiently and following proper health and safety precautions. Once the survey is complete, we will begin soft stripping your property whether it is residential, commercial, or industrial.
