The type of permit required will depend on the scope of work and the local zoning bylaws, this can make it a complicated process as you might have to apply for multiple permits.

After-Hours and Overnight Strip-Outs
Retail, office and restaurant tenants cannot always shut the doors for a demolition. The loud work can run when the floor is empty, so the space is usable again the next morning.
- Night and weekend shifts arranged around the building’s noise and access windows
- Freight elevator and loading dock times booked with the property manager, not assumed
- Hoarding and signage so the public side of the space stays clean while work continues
- Phased handovers when the trades behind us need part of the floor early
Working as a Subtrade for General Contractors
A lot of our commercial work comes from GCs who need the demolition off their critical path and off their list of things to worry about.
- One point of contact from quote to final clean, so nobody is chasing updates
- Scope split by area and phase, and priced that way, so change orders stay traceable
- WSIB clearance and liability certificates sent before we mobilise
- Debris hauled to approved facilities and the slab swept, ready for the next trade
ALMAR is WSIB-registered and our contractors are licensed and insured. Ask for the clearance certificate and we will send it over with the quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the demolition of a commercial building typically cost?
The cost of commercial demolition can vary widely depending on several factors, such as the size and complexity of the project, the materials to remove, and the property’s location.
Generally speaking, smaller projects may cost anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, while larger projects can cost tens of thousands or more. It’s always best to get a specific quote from a reputable demolition contractor based on your unique needs and circumstances.
How long does a commercial demolition project take to complete?
The duration of a commercial demolition project can depend on several factors, such as the size and complexity of the project. A small-scale demolition project can be completed in just a few days, while larger projects may take several weeks or longer.
It’s important to note that other factors such as permit approvals, inspections, and unexpected issues can also affect the timeline for completing a commercial demolition project. The best way to get a more accurate estimate is to consult with a reputable demolition contractor who can assess your specific needs and provide a timeframe for completion.
Do I need a permit for commercial demolition work in Toronto?
If you are planning to conduct commercial demolitions in Toronto, a permit is usually required, depending on the type of demolition you are planning. If it’s a smaller-scale demolition like removing your flooring, one isn’t necessary, depending on the type of home demolition you’re planning.
The permit process ensures the work is carried out safely and according to the city’s building codes and regulations. You can apply for a commercial demolition permit through the City of Toronto’s online portal or in person at a Permit Application Centre. The application will require detailed information about the scope of work, including plans and specifications. It’s important to note that failure to obtain a necessary permit can result in fines and legal issues down the line.
Finally, to ensure compliance with all local laws and regulations, it’s best to consult with a reputable demolition contractor who can guide you through the permitting process.
Can I do the commercial demolition work myself or should I hire professionals?
While it is possible to do demolition work yourself, it’s important to consider the potential risks and challenges involved. Demolition work can be dangerous and requires specialized knowledge and equipment to be done safely and efficiently. In addition, certain materials such as asbestos or lead paint may be present in older buildings, requiring special handling and disposal procedures.
Hiring a professional demolition contractor can help ensure that the work is done correctly and safely. A qualified contractor will have the necessary expertise, equipment, and insurance to complete the job without causing damage to your property or putting anyone at risk. They will also know how to properly handle hazardous materials if they are present in your building.
Overall, while doing demolition work yourself may seem like a cost-effective solution, hiring professionals with experience in this type of work.
Are there any environmental considerations when it comes to commercial demolition?
Yes, there are several environmental considerations to keep in mind when it comes to commercial demolition. One of the main concerns is the proper disposal of construction and demolition (C&D) waste. This waste can include materials such as drywall, wood, metal, and concrete, which can take up space in landfills and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
Demolition work can have a negative environmental impact if it is not sorted and recycled as much as possible. Many cities have regulations in place that require contractors to follow specific guidelines for C&D waste management. Some materials may also be eligible for reuse or repurposing, for example, salvaged wood or metal.
