Residential Demolition Services for Terrace House at Telok Kurau

Project Overview

This residential renovation project involved comprehensive interior demolition to facilitate a modernized redesign. The scope of work included wall hacking, floor and tile removal, and bathroom tile and bathtub hacking services. As a trusted renovation contractor in Singapore specializing in structural modifications and demolition services, we approached this project with a focus on precision, safety, and minimal disruption to the surrounding areas.

The project required the removal of floor tiles, built-in cabinets, bathroom fixtures, and walls to accommodate the homeowner's renovation plans. By employing meticulous dust control measures, protective sheeting, and careful dismantling techniques, we ensured that the demolition process was both efficient and respectful of the homeowner's property. Throughout the project, our team prioritized communication, regularly updating the client on progress and ensuring their requirements were met. This project exemplifies our commitment to delivering high-quality demolition services for residential properties.

Technical Challenges

1. Dust Containment in a Confined Residential Space

Demolition in residential properties often poses the challenge of containing dust within confined spaces to prevent it from spreading to non-demolition areas. In this project, we addressed this by employing dust control techniques, such as wet hacking methods and protective sheeting. Despite the significant volume of debris generated from wall hacking and tile removal, our team successfully minimized airborne particles, ensuring a cleaner and safer environment for the homeowner.

2. Protection of Non-Demolition Areas

The property featured several areas, such as hallways, adjacent rooms, and staircases, that required protection during the demolition process. To prevent accidental damage to these spaces, we utilized green protective sheets, vinyl coverings, and yellow adhesive tape to safeguard flooring and walls. This required careful planning and regular quality checks to ensure that all protective measures remained intact throughout the project.

3. Preserving Structural Integrity and Essential Components

Wall hacking and floor removal require precision to avoid damaging essential components such as electrical wiring, plumbing, and ductwork. During this project, exposed wiring and previously installed fixtures were carefully handled to ensure no disruptions or safety hazards occurred. Thorough inspection and planning before the hacking process allowed us to maintain the structural integrity of the property while achieving the desired demolition outcomes.

4. Managing Large Volumes of Debris

The extensive demolition work generated significant amounts of rubble and debris, particularly from wall hacking and tile removal. Efficient debris management was critical to maintaining a safe and organized work site. Our team employed systematic cleanup procedures, including the use of sandbags for rubble collection and regular clearing of the work area, ensuring that the site remained accessible and hazard-free.

Project Considerations

Safety Measures

Safety is a cornerstone of our demolition process. For this project, our team adhered to strict safety protocols, including wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) such as hard hats, masks, and gloves. Tools and equipment were operated with care, and safety hazards were mitigated by keeping the work area confined and well-maintained. These measures ensured the safety of both our crew and the homeowner.

Protection of Surrounding Areas

Given the residential nature of the property, it was imperative to protect areas not undergoing demolition. We used plastic and green protective sheets to safeguard flooring, walls, and furniture. These measures prevented damage and kept dust and debris contained within the work zones. The use of wet hacking techniques further reduced the spread of dust, contributing to a cleaner work environment.

Client-Specific Requirements

The homeowner’s requirement for minimal disruption to their daily life and neighboring units guided our approach. Regular progress updates via WhatsApp ensured clear communication and transparency throughout the project. Additionally, we took care to preserve the aesthetic and functional aspects of non-demolition areas, such as hallways and staircases, reflecting our attention to detail and commitment to client satisfaction.
