Demolition
You’ve resigned to the fact that you’re not the DIY home improvement type. But that doesn’t mean you can’t save some cash and do the demolition yourself—after all, how hard can it be to tear stuff down? It may even seem like fun, at least until you take a sledgehammer to a wall and destroy vital support structure or worse, hit electric wires.
“This becomes costly for the client and can delay the project,” says Yoel Piotraut. “A contractor must be called. During demolition, it’s very important to be careful not to damage any parts of the space that will stay.”
