Estimates the permit fee only - for total demolition cost (debris hauling, labor, equipment, hazardous abatement, contingency), use the Demolition Cost Estimator. National baseline: $100 base + $0.20/sf, $75 minimum. Adjusts regionally via the BidFlow City Cost Index.
The Demolition Cost Estimator covers all of the above for a complete project budget.
Trying to nail down demolition costs can feel a bit like hitting a moving target. It's not just about the size of the building; so many little things can send your numbers way off if you're not careful. Get it wrong, and profits can vanish before the dust even settles.
