How much does it cost to demolish a house for renovation?

If your house requires renovations and you're thinking about demolition, it can be daunting to think about the unforeseeable costs. However, you might be surprised to find how cost-effective it could be in certain cases.

There are several factors could affect the cost, which may increase or decrease. For a residential house, its size, type, location, accessibility, and the type of permits may influence the cost.

Larger houses that are difficult to access (ex. urban area with narrow roads and heavy traffic) increase the level of complexity and therefore the amount of coordination required to safely complete common tasks such as removing materials, transporting and unloading equipment Some of these elements could also affect the number and type of permits which may needed to be acquired.

The city of Vancouver provides a yearly outline of frequently used permits and their fees. The latest document for 2023 can be accessed on their website.
