Leveling Up
Growth isn’t just about doing more work. It’s about doing the work better.
In 2025, ISI Demolition took a deliberate look across the business — operations, safety, equipment, training, and execution — and focused on strengthening the systems that support consistent, reliable performance. The result wasn’t just a busy year. It was a year of leveling up.
This year-in-review is not a highlight reel. It’s a reflection on how ISI Demolition continues to refine the way work gets done, support its teams, and deliver results across a wide range of projects and environments.
A Year of Meaningful Scale
During the 2025 fiscal year (July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025), ISI Demolition completed 249 projects across more than 10 states, spanning over 40 different facility types.
Projects ranged from healthcare and higher education to industrial facilities, commercial buildings, theme parks, and sports venues. This breadth reflects both the trust placed in ISI Demolition and the importance of strong planning, coordination, and communication when managing varied scopes of work.
That consistency is supported by the people performing the work. In 2025, ISI Demolition maintained approximately 90% retention among new hires, reinforcing workforce stability and continuity across projects.
In addition, ISI Demolition crossed a significant milestone in 2025, surpassing 6,000 completed projects company-wide. That experience continues to inform how teams plan, coordinate, and execute work at every stage of a project.
Expanding Capability in Complex Environments
ISI Demolition has long operated in environments where access is limited, schedules are compressed, and coordination is critical. Last year’s work included projects connected to large and active facilities such as:
- Camden Yards
- M&T Bank Stadium
- Penn State
- University of Central Florida
- The Ocean City Boardwalk
In addition to these high-profile sites, ISI Demolition continued to perform demolition work within hospitals, universities, apartment conversions, historic redevelopments, and active commercial properties. These settings require careful sequencing, close coordination with multiple stakeholders, and a disciplined approach to safety and execution.
ISI Demolition’s continued presence in these environments reflects the depth of experience and systems in place to perform reliably where complexity is the norm.
Safety as Daily Practice
Safety remained a foundational focus throughout 2025 — not as a standalone initiative, but as a daily practice embedded into operations.
Key outcomes during the year included:
- An EMR consistently below 1.0
- Zero lost-time incidents
- Continued improvements in vehicle safety and driver behavior
- Advancements in training compliance and workforce qualifications
- Establishment of in-house rigging training capability
In addition to field safety, ISI Demolition implemented company-wide efforts to improve driver awareness and accountability through closer monitoring, coaching, and reinforcement of expectations. These actions supported safer operation on public roads and job sites alike.
Together, these efforts strengthened ISI Demolition’s safety culture and reinforced the company’s commitment to protecting employees, clients, partners, and the public.
Operational Improvements in Wrecking & Execution
In 2025, ISI Demolition continued improving wrecking performance through better planning, clearer processes, and stronger coordination — not shortcuts.
Key areas of focus included:
- Improved project timelines through tighter planning, sequencing, and supervision
- More consistent estimating practices to support coordination and execution
- Improved project information sharing to support field teams
- Pre-work review of standardized wrecking field packages by superintendents and foremen
To support larger and more complex work, ISI Demolition also continued investing in equipment and asset management:
- Expanded and modernized heavy equipment and attachments
- Added major capabilities, including a 118-foot high-reach excavator
- Reduced reliance on rented equipment to improve scheduling control
These efforts were reinforced by ongoing team development, including building depth across management, supervision, and operators, and supporting the progression of secondary operators into primary roles.
Together, these improvements strengthened field execution, reduced avoidable disruptions, and supported consistent performance across projects.
Responsible Demolition & Material Management
Responsible material handling continued to be a standard part of ISI Demolition’s approach in 2025.
ISI Demolition consistently targeted strong material diversion outcomes and exceeded LEED diversion standards on the majority of work. These results were achieved through early planning, coordination with recycling partners, and disciplined execution in the field.
By integrating diversion goals into project planning, ISI Demolition supported client sustainability objectives while maintaining efficiency and schedule control.
Continuing to Build Strong Industry Relationships
Alongside operational improvements, ISI Demolition remained active within the construction and commercial real estate communities throughout 2025.
The company continued participating in industry organizations, collaborative discussions, and speaking engagements that support knowledge-sharing and long-term partnerships. These efforts reinforce ISI Demolition’s commitment to collaboration, professionalism, and delivering value beyond individual projects.
Looking Ahead
As ISI Demolition enters 2026, the focus remains the same: disciplined planning, consistent execution, and a commitment to doing the work the right way. Whether supporting highly complex environments or more straightforward projects, ISI Demolition applies the same level of attention, coordination, and operational excellence to every job. The improvements made in 2025 strengthen that foundation and support reliable performance across all types of work.
