When to Consider Performing a Knock-Down and Rebuild Project

Posted on January 15, 2018

Regardless of whether a building has been damaged by floods, fire, a hurricane or any other catastrophe, one of the biggest decisions that damage contractors usually have to make is whether to pull down and rebuild the structure or to embark on remediation without any demolition.  Generally speaking, the decision to demolish and rebuild costs more compared to simply repairing/renovating.
