FOUNDATION DEMOLITION
Frequently Asked Questions
What is foundation demolition?
Foundation demolition means breaking up and taking out all or part of a building’s foundation. This could be things like concrete slabs, footings, or other support structures under a house or commercial building. People usually need foundation removal when there’s damage, when they’re getting ready to build something new, or when they want to repurpose the space for a different use.
Do I need a permit for foundation demolition in Ottawa?
Yes, in most cases, a permit is required. Here’s what you need to know:
- General Rule: The Ontario Building Code mandates a permit for any construction or demolition work, including chimney demolition.
- Demolition Permit: If your project involves removing parts of an existing structure, you’ll likely need a demolition permit.
- Exceptions: Non-load-bearing partitions and certain buildings (such as silos and barns) may not require a permit.
- Purpose of the Permit: Ensures safety and compliance with local regulations.
- Penalties for Non-Compliance: Starting demolition without a permit can lead to fines, stop-work orders, and legal consequences.
- Demolition Control By-law: Ottawa’s Demolition Control By-law (By-law No. 2012-377) may apply to specific properties.
- Heritage Properties: If your property is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act or located in a heritage district, additional heritage approvals may be needed.
- How to Obtain a Permit: Visit the City of Ottawa website for detailed requirements and application instructions.
How much does foundation demolition cost?
Costs vary based on project size, complexity, materials involved, and location. For the most accurate pricing, it’s best to get a detailed quote from us.
