Conduct Pre-Demolition Inspection

Conduct a pre-demolition inspection with a government inspector, if applicable to your jurisdiction. Prior to the inspection, you will typically post a copy of the site plan to scale on the property with the permit. Inspectors often ensure that erosion control fencing and tree save fencing are installed appropriately, asbestos has been properly removed and the house is properly secured prior to demolition.
