The best thing you can do is look up the contact page of every demolition company you’re considering and give them a general idea about your project. They will revert with a quote in no time.
When does an HDB need to be demolished?
End of lease
In this case, hacking is more common rather than full demolition. Basically, as the renter of an HDB, you are responsible for putting everything back in its previous state when you rented it.
If you made some changes to the structure, you would have to change it back. This is when hacking is effective, as you can safely dismantle walls inside the building without alarming your neighbours.
Changes in safety laws
Some of the old buildings in Singapore are not up to the current standard of safety laws. If you are in charge of such a building and plan to renovate it eventually, you might have to demolish it.
Remember, demolition and hacking also mean gathering the dust and dirt left behind and depositing it safely.
Final Thoughts
A demolition project can take anywhere from a couple of hours to months. Most importantly, it depends on the size of the building and its structural complexity. If it runs for months, the cost can easily go well over $25,000. So, look for affordable companies to reduce the cost.
