Demolition & Site Services Calgary

Small demolition, bobcat work, construction waste removal and full site clean-up — the heavy end of what we do.

Some jobs need more than a truck and a pair of hands. Site services is the heavier end of what we do: tearing the structure down, moving material with a bobcat, hauling construction waste off the site, and leaving the ground clean when the trades are finished.

We take on small demolition — garages, sheds, decks, fences, interior strip-outs — not multi-storey commercial teardowns. We are straight about that line, because the wrong equipment on a job is how properties get damaged.

Every service below has its own page covering what the work involves, what the site needs to look like before we arrive, and where the job ends.

WHERE WE RUN

We run across Calgary — NW, NE, SW and SE — plus Airdrie, Cochrane and Chestermere.

Pick the job you have

Not sure which one you need?

Describe the job on the phone and we will tell you honestly which service costs you least — including when the answer is a bin rather than a haul.

01

Demolition and haul-away in one call

The advantage of hiring one outfit for the teardown and the disposal is that nothing sits. A demolition contractor who does not haul leaves you with a pile and a second problem, and that pile is usually the thing that holds up the next trade.

We bring the bin or the truck with us. The structure comes down and goes straight into disposal, and the site is clear at the end of the same job rather than a week later.

What we need to know before quoting

For a demolition, the three things that decide the price are size, what it is built from, and access. A 20 by 22 foot detached garage on a back alley is a straightforward day. The same garage attached to the house, or one with a concrete slab that has to come out too, is a different job.

For bobcat work, it is the material, the distance it has to move and the ground conditions. Frozen ground in a Calgary February behaves very differently from soft ground in May, and it changes what the machine can do in a day.

Photos help more than descriptions. Text a few to 403-509-2783 and you will get a much more accurate number than you would from a phone conversation alone.

03

Permits and utilities are on the owner

Demolition of a permanent structure in Calgary generally requires a permit from the City, and any structure with power, gas or water running to it needs those services properly disconnected by the utility before anyone touches it. That is not something a disposal company can do on your behalf.

We will tell you plainly when we think a job needs a permit or a disconnect, and we will not start work on a structure with live services running into it. It is worth checking before you book so the schedule does not slip.

FAQ

Site Services questions

How big a demolition will you take on?

Detached garages, sheds, decks, fences, old concrete pads and interior strip-outs. We do not take on multi-storey or structural commercial demolition. If a job is beyond what we should be doing, we will say so rather than take it on.

Do you take the debris away too?

Yes, and that is the point of hiring one outfit. The bin or the truck comes with us, so the structure goes straight into disposal and the site is clear when we leave.

Do I need a permit?

Usually yes for a permanent structure, and it is the property owner's responsibility to arrange it with the City of Calgary. Any power, gas or water running to the structure also has to be disconnected by the utility before work starts.

Can you work on frozen ground in winter?

Bobcat work in a Calgary winter is possible but slower, and frozen ground genuinely limits what a machine can move in a day. We will tell you honestly whether the job is better done now or after a thaw.

Do you handle asbestos?

No. Anything involving asbestos — common in Calgary homes built before 1990 — has to go to a licensed abatement contractor before demolition begins. We will not work around it, and we will tell you if we think a structure needs testing first.
