Demolition in Berlin
Berlin is Lula Bau's headquarters and core territory. As Germany's largest city with around 3.7 million residents, the capital offers an enormous spectrum of demolition projects. From Wilhelmenian-era buildings in Prenzlauer Berg and Kreuzberg to industrial brownfields in Spandau and Oberschöneweide to modern office complexes in Mitte and at Potsdamer Platz, we cover all project types. Over 500 completed projects across all 12 Berlin districts demonstrate our local expertise.
Demolition in Berlin demands specialist competence: heritage protection, strict noise regulations, narrow courtyards, and complex permitting processes are daily challenges. As a Berlin demolition company, we operate an extensive fleet including mini excavators for tight backyards and longfront excavators for large-scale projects.
Based at Knesebeckstrasse 50, 10719 Berlin (Charlottenburg), we reach every site in the city within 30 to 50 minutes. We are thoroughly familiar with the Berlin Building Code and all district building authorities.

Local Information
Building Regulations in Berlin
Berlin is governed by the Berlin Building Code (BauO Bln). Demolition permits are issued by district offices. Heritage-listed buildings require involvement of the State Monument Authority. Berlin's immission protection ordinance regulates working hours (weekdays 7 AM to 8 PM, residential areas 8 AM to 6 PM) and dust control. Ordnance checks are mandatory before demolition begins.
What a Demolition Company in Berlin Has to Cover
A demolition company is more than an excavator with an operator. The teardown itself accounts for only about 40 percent of the cost of a typical project – the rest is the hazardous-material survey, the permit, disconnecting utilities, selective deconstruction, haulage and disposal records. Split that chain across three suppliers and you pay at every interface.
| Trade | What it covers | With us |
|---|---|---|
| Hazardous-material survey | Asbestos, mineral wool, PCB, PAH before quoting | yes, via certified experts |
| Permit | Demolition notice under BauO Bln | yes, see demolition permit Berlin |
| Gutting | Strip-out before structural demolition | yes |
| Hazmat remediation | Remediation to TRGS 519 | yes, in-house department |
| Building demolition | Complete, partial and concrete demolition | yes, own equipment fleet |
| Disposal | Separation, haulage, records | yes |
| Earthworks | Backfilling, compaction, site clearing | yes |
How to Recognise a Reputable Demolition Company
Quotes for the same building routinely differ by 40 percent. These points separate a specialist from an opportunist: the quote itemises demolition and disposal separately; there is a site visit before the quote; hazardous materials are clarified before costing; disposal records and remediation documentation are part of the service; the company carries adequate liability insurance and TRGS 519 competence certificates; the work is not passed on to subcontractors; and references can actually be checked. The full comparison checklist is in our guide on choosing a demolition contractor, and the cost breakdown under demolition costs.
Why a Single Supplier Is Usually Cheaper
With three separate contractors you pay for site set-up three times, for mobilisation three times, and you carry the coordination risk yourself. We keep the whole chain in one place: one site management, one schedule, one contact, one fixed price. See demolition works in Berlin for what we actually carry out.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
In which Berlin districts do you work?
We work in all 12 Berlin districts: from Spandau and Reinickendorf in the west and north to Treptow-Köpenick and Marzahn-Hellersdorf in the east. Berlin is our home market with over 500 completed projects.
What does demolition cost in Berlin?
Costs depend on building type, size, hazardous materials, and location. A single-family house demolition in Berlin costs between 15,000 and 45,000 euros. Inner-city sites with restricted access may incur additional costs. We offer a free on-site assessment with a binding fixed-price quote.
How long does a demolition project take in Berlin?
Project duration varies: a single-family home takes 1 to 2 weeks, a commercial building 2 to 6 weeks. The permitting phase adds approximately 4 to 8 weeks. Our familiarity with Berlin authorities helps minimize delays.
How quickly can I get a site visit?
Usually within 24 hours of your enquiry. The visit is free and without obligation – only afterwards do we produce a fixed-price quote, because construction type, access and hazardous-material risk cannot be settled over the phone.
Does the demolition company handle the permit too?
On request, yes. We check whether a demolition notice under section 61 (3) BauO Bln is sufficient or whether heritage, conservation or tree protection triggers a separate procedure, compile the documents and file with the responsible borough office.
What is the difference between a demolition firm and a demolition contractor?
Technically none. The terms are used interchangeably in German. What matters is not the label but whether the company covers hazardous-material remediation, disposal and earthworks itself or passes them on.
Do you work with subcontractors?
Demolition, gutting, hazardous-material remediation, disposal and earthworks are carried out by our own staff with our own fleet. Only expert services such as hazardous-material analysis and structural verification are commissioned externally, because they have to be independent.
Is disposal included in the price?
Yes. Our fixed-price quotes include demolition, loading, haulage and disposal, itemised separately so you can compare both blocks. You receive the disposal records and weighing slips for your documentation.
