Demolition project-boundary and provider-comparison workbook
A demolition proposal is easier to compare when every provider receives the same non-sensitive picture of what may be removed, what must remain, who else is involved and what end condition is wanted. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai organizes that brief and gives you room to compare provider-led review, responsibilities, exclusions, coordination, salvage, debris handling and handoff without directing demolition work.

This is a provider-selection and scope-comparison workbook, not an engineering survey, structural or hazard assessment, utility-control plan, hazardous-material review, demolition sequence, equipment or safety instruction, disposal or environmental guide, code or permit determination, contract interpretation or legal advice. Keep addresses, access codes and sensitive site details out.

How to use this resource
Use a neutral site label rather than an address. Describe broad areas and desired outcomes, then ask each provider to explain the assessment, written plan, responsibilities, exclusions and coordination they propose. Keep utility control, structural review, hazard evaluation, work methods, safety, disposal, approvals and local requirements with qualified providers and authorities.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.
COMPARE REVIEW, RESPONSIBILITIES AND HANDOFF
Ask the provider to define who assesses, coordinates and documents the work. Do not supply technical conclusions.
PREPARE FOR A PROVIDER-LED SITE REVIEW
Tick what is ready. Qualified providers should assess the site and explain technical, safety and local requirements.
QUESTIONS FOR A DEMOLITION PROVIDER
Record how each provider would define review, boundaries, coordination, debris handling, contingencies and handoff for the same brief.
COMPARE THE SAME DEMOLITION BRIEF
Use A and B in every box. Compare only after both providers receive the same non-sensitive project boundary and retained-area context.

Demolition preparation checklist
- Use a neutral site label and broad structure or area type; do not enter the address or access codes.
- State the desired result and project boundary without measuring, engineering or directing demolition methods.
- Identify retained areas, finishes, landscaping or neighboring property only as coordination questions.
- Ask who is responsible for provider-led pre-work, structural, utility and hazard reviews and what evidence is supplied.
- List known records or prior reports without interpreting them or identifying hazardous materials yourself.
- Record salvage, reuse and debris preferences as discussion points, not handling or destination instructions.
- Ask how access, occupied areas, other trades, neighbors and the requested end condition will be coordinated.
- Give each provider the same brief and compare written scope, responsibilities, exclusions, timing, terms and fit.
Questions to ask a demolition provider
- Who will lead the pre-work review, what specialist input may be needed and what written evidence will be provided?
- How will the project boundary, retained areas, exclusions and end condition be documented before work begins?
- Who is responsible for utility, structural, hazard, environmental and local-approval coordination?
- How will access, occupied or adjacent areas, neighboring property and work by others be coordinated?
- How will salvage preferences, debris streams, destinations and closeout records be addressed in the proposal?
- What assumptions, contingencies, change process, schedule, cleanup and handoff are included in writing?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.

Share a non-sensitive structure or area type, project boundary, retained-area context, access questions, salvage preferences and desired end condition so participating pros can compete with proposals. Compare provider-led review, responsibilities, exclusions, coordination, debris and salvage plan, schedule, written terms and fit; a site visit and specialist reviews may be needed before a final proposal.
