Safe and Compliant Demolition Practices
Safety is the foundation of every project we undertake. As a WSIB-registered and fully insured commercial demolition company, we comply with all Ontario Ministry of Labour and Environmental Protection guidelines.
Permit & Regulatory Compliance
Our in-house permitting specialists handle the entire approval process:
​
-
Municipal demolition permits and building notifications
-
Utility disconnection coordination (gas, hydro, water)
-
Environmental and structural assessments
-
Traffic and noise management plans for downtown work zones
​
We maintain direct communication with local municipalities, inspectors, and engineers to ensure every project meets or exceeds compliance standards.
Asbestos and Hazardous Material Removal
Many commercial structures in Toronto contain asbestos, lead paint, or mold contamination. Before demolition begins, our certified abatement crews test, remove, and dispose of hazardous materials according to provincial regulations.
This integrated approach allows Master Demolition to complete abatement and demolition under one contract, minimizing delays and cost overlaps for clients.
Advanced Equipment and Skilled Crews
We operate with an extensive fleet of modern machinery suitable for downtown, suburban, and industrial-zoned sites.
Our equipment includes:
​
-
Excavators with concrete pulverizers and shears
-
High-reach demolition arms for tall structures
-
Mini-excavators and skid steers for confined interiors
-
Roll-off bins and dump trucks for debris transport
​
Each operator is fully trained, licensed, and supervised by experienced project managers who ensure safe handling, sequencing, and material separation.
​
We also apply recycling and waste diversion practices, salvaging metals, concrete, and reusable aggregates to reduce landfill impact.
Our Commercial Demolition Process
A successful demolition starts long before the first wall comes down. Our structured process ensures efficiency, safety, and accountability from day one.
Step 1 – Site Assessment & Quotation
We begin with a comprehensive on-site evaluation to determine the scope, environmental conditions, and access points. Clients receive a detailed estimate outlining timelines, equipment requirements, and regulatory considerations — with no hidden costs.
Step 2 – Permits & Preparation
Our team secures all necessary Toronto demolition permits, disconnects utilities, and establishes safety perimeters. We also coordinate third-party engineering reviews when required.
Step 3 – Controlled Demolition Execution
Using high-efficiency machinery and dust-control systems, our crews perform the demolition in stages, ensuring structural stability and neighbour safety throughout.
Step 4 – Debris Management & Site Cleanup
All materials are separated, loaded, and transported to approved recycling or disposal facilities. Clients receive a completion report confirming waste volumes and recycling percentages.
Step 5 – Final Inspection & Handover
Once demolition is complete, we conduct a final inspection and hand over a clean, ready-to-build site — on schedule and within budget.
