Demolition or Renovation? When Does Which Option Make Sense?

Demolition or renovation – an important decision. Learn which factors favor demolition and which favor renovation.

Demolition or Renovation?

The decision between demolition and renovation is one of the most important questions in real estate projects. Both options have advantages and disadvantages that must be carefully weighed.

When Does Demolition Make Sense?

Demolition is often more economical when renovation costs exceed 75% of new construction costs, severe hazardous material contamination exists, or fundamental structural defects are present.

When Does Renovation Make Sense?

Renovation is sensible when the building is heritage-protected, the building substance is fundamentally sound, or renovation costs are clearly below new construction costs.
