What happens on-site?
1.
Interior inspection
The first step on site is an interior inspection. Any cracks, damage, or other areas requiring special attention are documented.
2.
Securing the balconies from the outside
The balconies are closed off from the outside for safety reasons, and the doors are kept closed throughout the work.
3.
Dismantling balcony glazing (if applicable)
If the balconies have glass enclosures, they are removed before dismantling the structural components.
4.
Detaching and lifting the balconies
The balconies are detached from the structure either by chipping (with jackhammers) or sawing — the method is chosen based on the construction. The elements are then lifted away.
5.
Protecting the open balcony line
Finally, the open balcony line is carefully secured. At this point, our demolition work is complete, and the site is ready for the next phase of construction.
