How to do Landscaping/Demolition Meeting with a Potential Customer
What happens here
Perform a comprehensive survey of the basement and the entire exterior perimeter of the property. In the basement, inspect all interior walls and the type of flooring, such as standard concrete or pre-stressed concrete (spancrete), as these materials affect demolition techniques and debris volume. Outdoors, meticulously evaluate existing structures like the driveway and any retaining walls. Pay particular attention to unusual constructions, such as timber retaining walls potentially built with railroad ties, and research the specific regulations for their disposal, as these can be highly restricted. Document the existing landscape and topography to plan for efficient leveling and grading, aiming to create a flat plateau or desired elevation for the new construction.
Goal: Document all exterior and basement features influencing demolition, debris removal, and final site grading.
