If you are planning a renovation or reconstruction in the capital, the question of professional demolition comes first. The focus on demolition, demolition works helps save time, money, and nerves. This material includes a step-by-step process, safety requirements, permits, examples, estimated budgets, and a preparation checklist. The company LLC “BK Demontazhnik” performs works in Kyiv and the region, operates transparently, and provides full support.
What is demolition in Kyiv and when is it needed
Demolition is the controlled dismantling of structures, engineering networks, and finishes in compliance with safety standards. In Kyiv, it is needed during major repairs, remodeling, reconstruction, or building demolition. There are two basic formats: partial demolition inside premises and full demolition of a building with its foundation.
When to order the service:
- Before remodeling an apartment or office.
- When replacing floors, screeds, window and door units.
- To prepare spaces for new lease in shopping malls or business centers.
- For demolishing unsafe or morally outdated structures.
The legal framework is regulated by building codes and occupational safety rules. For load-bearing walls, facades, floors, and external networks, project solutions and appropriate permits are required. Below is the complete process.
Turnkey process: from request to construction waste removal
Below is a typical workflow from LLC “BK Demontazhnik”. The turnkey format allows the client to avoid unnecessary coordination and downtime.
Stage 1. Site inspection and estimate
The manager accepts the request and agrees on a convenient time for inspection. An engineer visits the site, takes measurements, checks the structure, engineering systems, access, and logistics. Risks are identified: presence of load-bearing elements, hidden communications, noise restrictions, elevator and yard rules of the building.
Based on the results, an estimate is prepared. It contains a list of works with units of measurement, technology, required equipment, containers for construction waste, schedule, and cost. The client receives a fixed price for the agreed scope. Additional items are agreed separately.
Stage 2. Contract, work plan, and safety
A contract is signed with deadlines, guarantees, and responsibilities of the parties. A work execution plan is drawn up. Routes for waste removal, storage locations, and procedures for disconnecting electricity, water, and gas are specified. The team undergoes safety training. Personal protective equipment, spark protection for metal cutting, dust suppression, and local ventilation are included as standard.
Stage 3. Site preparation
Elevators, entrances, floors, and adjacent premises are protected. Temporary fences and warning signs are installed. Utility nodes are tested and sealed. In densely built areas of Kyiv, the noisy work schedule is coordinated with the property management company and neighbors. Containers for inert and mixed waste are placed on site.
Stage 4. Work execution
Two formats are used. Manual demolition is suitable for apartments and offices in occupied buildings where accuracy and minimal vibrations are important. Mechanical demolition with an excavator, hydraulic hammer, and loader is used at sites with building demolition, large debris removal, and hard materials. Selective dismantling is carried out: brick, concrete, metal, wood, glass. This reduces disposal costs and allows recycling.
Stage 5. Waste removal and acceptance
Construction waste is removed in 8–20 m³ containers or by truck crane. The site is cleaned. The client’s representative accepts the work by signing an act. If necessary, instrumental control is carried out, photo documentation is made, and execution documentation is handed over.
Types of demolition: private houses, structures of various purposes, business facilities, industrial demolition
Apartments and residential complexes
Typical tasks: dismantling partitions, screeds, gypsum board ceilings, tiles, doors, flooring, bathrooms. In high-rise buildings, noise and logistics rules are important. Industrial vacuum cleaners, double-layer bags, and protective floor coverings are used.
Private houses
Work includes dismantling the roof, rafter system, insulation, facades, floors, and partial foundation demolition. Perimeter fencing, crane work, and coordination for heavy machinery access are required.
Commercial spaces
Offices, retail, warehouses, production areas. Often this is dismantling of engineering systems: ventilation, electrical panels, distribution networks, refrigeration circuits. For shopping malls, the work plan is agreed with the mall management, and night work windows are scheduled.
Demolition, demolition works in Kyiv: what is included in the service
Full list: dismantling of finishes, structures, and engineering systems, concrete and metal cutting, selective dismantling of load-bearing elements according to the project, waste removal, cleaning, temporary fencing, work plan, safety briefing, and work completion certificates.
Safety, ecology, and law
Safety is a priority. The team works in PPE. The work area is fenced. For diamond cutting, water dust suppression is used. Safety briefing logs are kept. Waste is sorted. Hazardous fractions are handed over to licensed operators. It is useful to follow the city’s information on waste management. See the services section on the Kyiv City State Administration website.
Permits and approvals in Kyiv
For building demolition, interference with load-bearing structures and facades, project solutions and permits are required. In apartment buildings, remodeling must be agreed with the management company. On private sites, access for machinery and road closures must be approved if necessary. LLC “BK Demontazhnik” will advise which documents to collect and which project sections are mandatory.
Equipment and tools
- Hand tools: rotary hammers, jackhammers, grinders, threading systems, vacuum cleaners.
- Special equipment: skid steer loader, excavator with hydraulic hammer, truck crane, crane.
- Technologies: diamond cutting, wire saws, non-impact opening cutting, dust-free demolition chemicals for brittle concrete.
