Highland Denver DemolitionMulti-Family Tear-Downs & Foundations
Multi-family residential tear-down & foundation excavation in Denver, CO.
Highland has seen steady redevelopment: older single-family homes, duplexes and small buildings on compact urban lots being replaced by townhomes, rowhouses and multi-family projects. Demolition here usually means more than taking down a building. It includes removing foundations, dealing with basements and preparing an excavated site for new construction.
Denver Demolition Co plans Highland tear-downs around the realities of tight lots, alley access and nearby neighbors, with foundation excavation and hauling integrated into the same scope so your builder gets a ready site.
What Highland Demolition Jobs Look Like
Multi-lot and multi-unit tear-downs
Removal of older houses, duplexes and small multi-family buildings, sometimes several adjacent lots at once, ahead of new townhome or apartment projects.
Foundation and basement excavation
Breaking out and hauling foundations and basement walls, excavating, and leaving the site ready for new footings or backfilled per your engineer.
Site clearing and grading
Removal of garages, fences, flatwork and vegetation, followed by rough grading to the builder's requirements.
Concrete and masonry recycling
Foundation concrete and masonry hauled to recycling where available instead of landfill.
Permits & Regulations for Highland Projects
Requirements depend on the property and scope. We help you confirm the current rules with the agencies involved rather than assume them.
Denver CPD demolition permit
Each building typically needs a demolition permit through Denver Community Planning and Development. Multi-building sites may involve separate permits, and older structures can be subject to additional review, so confirm requirements per address.
Asbestos and CDPHE Regulation 8, Part B
An asbestos inspection ahead of demolition and notification to CDPHE under Regulation 8, Part B are generally expected. Multi-family and older buildings commonly contain suspect materials, so build this into your schedule.
Colorado 811 and utility capping
Colorado 811 locates are requested before excavation. Gas, electric, water and sewer connections must be disconnected and capped through the providers, which can take time with several buildings.
Excavation, stormwater and shoring
Deep foundation excavation next to neighbors may call for shoring, dewatering or erosion controls. Your engineer and civil plans define these, and we follow them.
Highland Site Access & Logistics
Tight lots and alley access
Highland lots are often narrow with alley or limited street access. Equipment size, truck routing and staging are planned lot by lot, and street or alley use may require permits.
Adjacent-structure protection
Excavation close to neighboring foundations needs care. We discuss existing conditions, document them where appropriate, and keep excavation within your engineer's guidance.
Hours, noise and neighbors
In dense blocks, noise and dust are felt right away. We schedule heavy work within permitted hours and use water for dust control.

Highland Demolition FAQs
Yes. We regularly coordinate multi-lot projects. Each building typically needs its own permit and utility disconnects, so the schedule is driven by permits and capping rather than the demolition work itself.
It can be. We quote demolition with foundation removal and excavation as a defined scope so you can compare, and align the final grade and backfill with your builder's or engineer's requirements.
We review existing conditions, follow your engineer's shoring or setback guidance, and keep neighbors informed. Documenting existing conditions before work can help everyone, so ask us about it during the walk-through.
Access is one factor in pricing. Tight alleys or limited staging may require smaller equipment or more truck trips, which can affect the quote. We assess access during the site visit.
A Denver demolition permit, an asbestos inspection with CDPHE Regulation 8, Part B notification where required, utility disconnects, and Colorado 811 locates before excavation are the usual steps. Specific requirements vary by building and scope, so confirm with the agencies involved.
