Structural integrity – This is a big concern as it affects the safety of people, the building itself, and the area around the building when buildings are destroyed. If there is structural damage it can cause the foundation of the building to cave in and it could cause structural failure and collapse. You may not know this, but if the building is still standing after the demolition, all that remains of it is a lot of plaster and wood, which is what it was made of.

Density – When a building is demolished the debris is extremely heavy, and this is especially true of materials like plaster. When the debris is lifted from the foundation it can actually cause the roof to collapse. So, in order to salvage any material that is left after a demolition, you have to make sure that you use equipment that will allow the debris to be lifted off the foundation before it falls down. Hiring a specialist demolition contractor will mean this can be done safely.
