Commercial Demolition Estimating and Takeoff Services
Tribuild takes off demolition by scope and area: selective interior and structural removal quantified by area, volume, and count, with concrete cutting, MEP demo coordination, protection, and haul-off carried so the demo bid is complete.
Demolition bids are about scope separation and disposal. Tribuild takes off demolition by type, selective interior removal by area and count, and structural demolition by volume and area, and carries the concrete cutting, coring, temporary protection, and shoring that the work actually requires.
MEP demolition is coordinated by system, hazardous-material abatement is noted for the licensed abatement contractor, and haul-off and disposal are quantified by volume with dumpster counts. Every deliverable ships with documented assumptions (including the concealed-condition risk that stays with the contractor) your team can price and defend.

Frequently asked questions
Demolition plans (or existing plans marked for removal), phasing notes, and specifications. Structural demo needs structural drawings; hazardous-material reports inform abatement coordination.
No, hazardous-material abatement is performed by licensed abatement contractors. We coordinate the demolition scope around it and note it as an assumption.
Yes, debris haul-off and disposal are quantified by volume/tonnage with dumpster counts, based on the removed quantities.
Yes, they carry different labor, equipment, and protection, so each is quantified on its own.
