Commercial Demolition in Eau Claire, WI
Commercial demolition is about control. Buildings, slabs, and structural sections must come out without damaging surrounding areas, shifting grades, or creating problems for what comes next.
Serving West Central Wisconsin, 715 Excavating provides commercial demolition services in Eau Claire, WI, and surrounding communities for renovation, expansion, and site redevelopment projects. We remove structures, manage material handling, and prepare sites so excavation, grading, and construction can begin on clean ground.
Why Builders and Property Owners Choose 715 Excavating
Plan-Based Demolition
We remove structures based on drawings, elevations, and redevelopment plans so downstream trades can work without redesign.
Integrated Site Preparation
Demolition is coordinated with excavation, grading, and drainage so the site transitions cleanly into construction.
Controlled Job Sites
Material is managed properly, access stays open, and working areas remain organized for inspectors and trades.
Owner-Managed Projects
Every commercial demolition project is overseen directly by the owner to keep execution consistent and communication clear.
When Commercial Demolition Is Needed
Commercial demolition is used when existing structures interfere with renovation plans, site redevelopment, or access and grade requirements.
This work is commonly required for:
- Building replacements and property redevelopment
- Remodels and tenant improvements
- Structural removal before additions or expansions
- Parking and access reconfiguration
- Repurposing older commercial sites
The goal is simple: remove what no longer fits so the site can be rebuilt correctly.
Commercial Demolition Services We Provide
Full Commercial Building Removal
We remove small and mid-size commercial structures, service buildings, and accessory facilities when properties are being rebuilt or repurposed.
This service prepares sites for general excavation and future construction without carrying forward old foundations or grades.
Selective and Structural Demolition
Selective demolition allows portions of a building to be removed while preserving surrounding walls, foundations, or active areas.
This is commonly used for: Tenant build-outs, Interior remodels, Structural modifications, Equipment and mezzanine removal
Controlled removal protects remaining structures and keeps projects moving without unnecessary teardown.
Concrete & Asphalt Removal
Commercial demolition often includes removing slabs, foundations, loading docks, sidewalks, and paved surfaces that no longer match site plans or drainage needs.
This work allows elevations, slopes, and base systems to be corrected before new construction or paving begins, preventing settlement, drainage conflicts, and alignment problems later in the project.
Structure Removal & Site Clearing
Redevelopment sites often contain old foundations, buried debris, or uneven grades that interfere with layout and access.
Structure removal and site clearing eliminate these obstacles so excavation, grading, and utility work can begin on a clean, workable surface without rework or delays.
Why Demolition Planning Matters on Commercial Sites
Commercial sites carry tight tolerances and sequencing requirements. Foundations tie into drainage. Grades affect paving. Access must remain open for trades and inspectors.
Unplanned demolition can lead to:
- Elevation conflicts during excavation
- Drainage problems after removal
- Restricted access for utilities and concrete crews
- Delays between construction phases
We remove structures with the next phase in mind, not just the current one.
Our Commercial Demolition Process
Site Review and Scope Planning
We review building layout, foundations, access, and redevelopment plans before demolition begins.
Controlled Removal and Material Handling
Structures, slabs, and foundations are removed in stages to protect surrounding areas and maintain grade control.
Site Readiness for Construction
When demolition is complete, surfaces are cleaned, stabilized, and prepared so excavation or grading can proceed without correction.
