Perform Interior Pre-Demolition Walkthrough and Initial Inventory

What happens here

Conduct a detailed interior walkthrough of the house before any demolition work begins. During this inspection, identify materials that can be recycled, such as steel beams, or require specific disposal methods. Verify that the house is completely empty of furniture and personal belongings. Pay close attention to specific fixtures like mercury switches, which must be safely removed and properly disposed of due to environmental regulations. Note the type of insulation present, particularly in ceilings, as different types may have varying disposal requirements.

Goal: Inventory interior elements for recycling, disposal, or special handling, and ensure the property is ready for demolition.
