When is a Reno OR Demo Right For You?
I was speaking with a past professional in the industry and they mentioned that they always tell people that it’s better to demolish and build new than it is to renovate.
This caught me off guard.
I’m not sure what this person did in construction to have such a polarizing stance of opinion but here’s my 17 years of experience and 2 cents about it.
That’s not always the case.
And, it entirely depends.
Whether a renovation or a demo and rebuild is more cost-effective depends on several factors, including the extent of the renovation or rebuild, the condition of the existing structure, and the cost of building materials and labor in the local area.
It’s never that black and white.
