Structural Demolition Portland, Oregon.
OJB Solutions provides structural demolition and controlled structural removal for selected residential and exterior construction projects throughout the Portland metro. We remove framing and structural components when demolition is required before repair, rebuilding, or replacement construction.
Controlled Structural Removal
Structural demolition requires a plan for what comes out and what stays.
Structural demolition involves removing components that are part of the framing or support system of a structure. Depending on the project, that can include posts, beams, joists, stairs, landings, deck framing, exterior framing, or other structural elements.
OJB Solutions performs structural removal for selected projects where demolition is necessary before repair, replacement, or reconstruction can move forward.
Because structural components can affect surrounding construction, we evaluate the existing conditions and intended project scope before demolition begins. Permits, engineering, temporary support, or inspections may be required depending on the work.
Structural Demolition Services
Removal planned around the existing structure and the rebuild.
Deck Framing Removal
Removal of deck joists, beams, posts, stairs, landings, railings, and other structural components as part of a demolition or deck replacement project.
Posts & Beams
Controlled removal of selected posts, beams, and supporting members when included in an approved demolition or reconstruction scope.
Exterior Framing
Removal of selected exterior framing components when repair, replacement, or reconstruction requires access to the underlying structure.
Stairs & Landings
Demolition of exterior stairs, landings, supporting framing, and related structural components that are being replaced or removed.
Damaged Structural Components
Removal of deteriorated or damaged structural material when required before approved repair or reconstruction can proceed.
Reconstruction Preparation
Structural demolition can be coordinated with the replacement work so the project moves from removal into the next construction phase.
Before Structural Demolition
Structural removal starts with understanding how the existing project is built.
What Is Being Removed?
We identify the structural components included in the demolition scope and distinguish them from portions of the structure intended to remain.
What Does It Support?
Structural members can support surrounding framing and finishes. Removal sequencing needs to account for those connections.
What Comes Next?
We consider whether the demolished area will be rebuilt, repaired, redesigned, or left removed so demolition supports the next phase.
Permits & Engineering
Depending on the project and jurisdiction, structural work may require permits, engineering, plans, or inspections before or during reconstruction.
Site Access
We review access for demolition, debris staging, hauling equipment, tools, and movement through the property.
Debris Handling
The project scope includes a plan for containing, loading, hauling, and disposing of demolition debris generated by the work.
Our Process
Structural demolition coordinated from evaluation through cleanup.
Evaluate
We review accessible structural conditions, determine what needs to be removed, and identify what is intended to remain.
Define the Scope
We provide a written estimate describing the approved demolition, debris removal, and related project work.
Controlled Removal
Structural components are removed according to the approved scope while reasonable precautions are taken around surrounding areas.
Cleanup & Rebuild Prep
Demolition debris is removed and the project area is prepared for the next approved phase of construction.
The OJB Solutions Difference
Demolition handled as part of the construction process.
Clear Written Scope
Structural demolition is defined in writing before work begins so the removal scope and project expectations are clear.
On-Site Debris Management
When appropriate, an on-site dumpster or dump trailer is used to contain demolition debris throughout the project.
Daily Jobsite Cleanup
Active work areas are kept reasonably organized as demolition progresses instead of allowing loose debris to accumulate.
Standard Disposal Included
Standard hauling and disposal associated with the quoted project scope are included unless the written estimate states otherwise.
Permit Coordination
When permits, engineering, or inspections are required for work included in our scope, OJB Solutions coordinates the applicable project requirements.
Rebuild Coordination
When OJB Solutions is completing the reconstruction, demolition and rebuilding can be coordinated under one project plan.
