What does selective condo demolition involve?
Selective demolition means removing the fixtures and finishes from a targeted space while protecting everything around it, rather than tearing out a whole area without regard for what surrounds it. On this project, the scope covered careful removal of custom millwork shelving, desks, and cabinetry, sorting, packing, and labeling client belongings including fragile items, clothing, kitchenware, and alcohol, full furniture protection and wrapping before any work began, selective removal of engineered hardwood flooring, staged and moved in sections, selective kitchen demolition with appliances disconnected, the faucet saved, and plumbing protected, and selective laundry room demolition with flooring removal.
Protecting the client's belongings and the building
The team fully protected and wrapped the furniture throughout the unit before any demolition began. Client belongings were carefully sorted, packed, and labeled, covering fragile items, clothing, kitchenware, and alcohol, so everything could be handled with care throughout the project. With the condo connected to a hotel, debris removal required tight coordination with building management and security, and elevator access, hallway protection, and timing were handled carefully throughout to avoid disruptions.
How the job was done in one week
Careful planning and full protection of the unit let the crew move through the demolition without creating disruptions in a connected condo and hotel tower. Millwork, flooring, kitchen, and laundry room demolition were carried out in stages, with the engineered hardwood flooring removed and moved section by section to keep the site controlled. The unit was handed back stripped, clean, and ready for the next phase of renovation.
The result
One week, full protection, completed safely, cleanly, and professionally. The Thompson Residences unit is now cleared and ready for the next phase, with the client's belongings protected and the surrounding building undisturbed throughout.
