Detail-Driven Demolition with Safety First

No two buildings are the same—and no two architectural demolition projects should be either. That’s why we tailor every approach to the building’s use, occupancy, and end goals. Our team knows how to work in challenging environments without disrupting operations.

Each project includes:

  • Pre-construction walkthroughs and hazard assessments
  • Phased demolition and logistical planning
  • Use of negative air machines and containment barriers
  • Full PPE and compliance with OSHA and client protocols
  • Crews trained to protect finishes, utilities, and MEP systems

We don’t just tear down—we help set the stage for what’s next.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between architectural demolition and structural demolition?

Architectural demolition focuses on removing non-structural elements like walls, ceilings, finishes, and fixtures—often in preparation for renovations. Structural demolition involves taking down load-bearing components or entire buildings. ISI handles both, with teams trained for selective interior work and full-scale takedowns.

Can ISI perform interior demolition in occupied buildings?

Yes. ISI regularly works in active environments such as hospitals, schools, and office buildings. We implement dust control, noise reduction, and safety measures to minimize disruption and protect occupants throughout the project.

Do you provide containment and dust control during demolition?

Absolutely. ISI uses containment systems, HEPA-filtered negative air machines, and meticulous housekeeping practices to control dust and debris—especially critical in healthcare, cleanrooms, and data centers.

How does ISI ensure safety on interior demolition projects?

Safety starts with planning. Every project includes a hazard assessment, detailed logistics plan, and on-site supervision. Our crews are trained in OSHA standards and follow strict protocols to ensure safe execution around sensitive systems and people.

Can ISI coordinate with other contractors during renovation projects?
Yes. We frequently work alongside general contractors, MEP trades, and build-back teams. Our clear communication, flexibility, and clean job sites make us a reliable partner on fast-moving renovation schedules.
