Full Building Takedowns, On Schedule

Since 1990, ISI Demolition has had the team, process, and equipment to get a job done on time and on budget. We know how our work affects everything that follows: any delay on our end stalls the rest of the construction schedule behind us.

• We’ve invested in our fleet of heavy equipment, so there’s no waiting on a rental machine tied up on someone else’s job.
• We run daily and weekly quality control meetings on every project, so nothing about the plan or the site conditions gets discovered halfway through.
• Our staff handles daily demolition work, giving us full control of the schedule.
• We get involved with general contractors and developers as early as possible, handling pre-demolition surveys and permitting support before equipment ever moves.

Since expanding to Florida in 2014, that same standard applies in the Southeast. Whether the project is in Maryland or Florida, the same crews, supervision, and equipment standards hold.

When the site sits close to active neighbors

For buildings in dense, urban, or occupied areas, we plan sequencing and containment carefully to keep the surrounding environment safe and operational, minimizing disruption to neighboring properties and pedestrians.

When utilities and permitting stand in the way

Before a single wall comes down, our team coordinates utility disconnection with providers and supports permitting and environmental compliance, so nothing unexpected halts progress mid-project.

When precision matters as much as power

Our fleet of remote-controlled demolition robots delivers the force of much larger machines in spaces where precision and control are critical, along with high-reach excavators for multi-story takedowns.

How does building razing affect my project schedule?
Razing typically runs a few days to a few weeks depending on the structure’s size and complexity, once planning and permitting are complete. Because we own our equipment and run our own crews, we control that timeline instead of waiting on rentals or subs, so it’s easier to hold to the schedule you’ve already committed to your client.

Who handles permitting and utility disconnection, us or you?
We do. Our team coordinates permitting, environmental compliance, and utility shutoff with providers before equipment ever moves, so it’s off your plate.

What if the structure has unexpected conditions once we’re into it?
Every project is reviewed by our in-house structural engineer before work begins, so load paths, shoring needs, and site-specific risks are planned for upfront. If something changes once we’re in it, we have the in-house team to adjust without waiting on a third party.
