A property management company in Arlington called us about a 1970s-era office building that needed to come down to make way for a new commercial development. The building had asbestos-containing materials, an underground storage tank that had not been properly decommissioned, and a basement that was not documented in any available drawings. Three weeks later the site was cleared, the UST had been properly removed and documented, the hazardous materials had been abated and disposed of by licensed contractors, and the basement had been excavated and backfilled to engineered specifications. The developer broke ground on schedule.
Demolition looks simple from the outside. It is not. Proper demolition requires thorough pre-demolition assessment, careful coordination with utility providers, hazardous material identification and abatement, structural engineering for selective demolition programs, and rigorous safety management throughout. Fast General Contracting has been delivering complete demolition services throughout Dallas Fort Worth for over 25 years — managing every phase of the demolition process with the same discipline we apply to new construction.

Commercial demolition in the DFW metroplex requires a contractor who understands the regulatory environment, the coordination requirements with utility providers and adjacent tenants, and the safety management demands of demolishing occupied commercial environments. Fast General Contracting has managed commercial demolition programs throughout DFW for 25 years — delivering safe, schedule-driven demolition that sets the stage for successful redevelopment.
Our commercial demolition services cover office building demolition, retail demolition, restaurant demolition, hotel and hospitality demolition, healthcare facility demolition, educational facility demolition, and complete commercial campus demolition programs throughout the DFW metroplex.
Every commercial demolition program we manage begins with a thorough pre-demolition assessment — reviewing structural drawings, identifying hazardous materials, locating underground utilities and structures, and developing a detailed demolition plan that addresses every risk before work begins. We coordinate utility disconnection with all providers, obtain all required demolition permits, and manage the complete demolition process under single-source accountability.
Residential demolition is one of the most common precursors to new construction in established DFW neighborhoods — particularly in mature communities like Southlake, Colleyville, and Keller where teardown-rebuild is a primary path to new luxury home construction on established lots.
Fast General Contracting manages complete residential demolition throughout DFW — coordinating utility disconnections, obtaining demolition permits, managing hazardous material assessment and abatement, and delivering cleared, graded lots ready for new construction. Our residential demolition services cover single-family home demolition, garage and accessory structure demolition, foundation removal, and complete lot clearing programs throughout the metroplex.
For homeowners and builders pursuing teardown-rebuild programs in established DFW communities, Fast General Contracting offers integrated demolition and site preparation services — managing the complete transition from existing structure through new construction-ready site under single-source accountability. This integration eliminates the coordination gaps between separate demolition and site preparation contractors that consistently produce schedule delays and cost surprises.
Selective demolition is one of the most technically demanding demolition categories — requiring precise identification of what stays, what goes, and how to remove targeted elements without damaging adjacent construction. Fast General Contracting manages selective demolition programs for commercial renovation, tenant improvement, and residential remodel projects throughout DFW.
Our selective demolition services cover structural wall removal with temporary shoring, ceiling system demolition, flooring removal, mechanical system demolition, window and door removal, and complete interior strip-outs for commercial tenant improvement and renovation programs. Every selective demolition program we manage includes structural engineering review for load-bearing element removal and careful protection of finishes and systems that remain in service.
For commercial property managers and tenants preparing spaces for new build-outs, Fast General Contracting manages complete tenant improvement strip-outs throughout DFW — removing existing partitions, ceilings, flooring, and mechanical systems to deliver clean shell spaces ready for new tenant improvement construction. Our TI strip-out services are coordinated with our tenant improvement construction capability for seamless transition from demolition through new build-out completion.
Pre-1980 commercial and residential structures throughout DFW commonly contain asbestos-containing materials, lead-based paint, and other hazardous substances that require proper assessment and abatement before demolition. Failure to properly identify and manage these materials before demolition exposes property owners and contractors to significant regulatory liability.
Fast General Contracting coordinates complete hazardous material assessment and abatement for all demolition projects — engaging licensed environmental consultants for pre-demolition surveys, coordinating licensed abatement contractors for hazardous material removal, and maintaining complete documentation of abatement activities for regulatory compliance purposes. We manage the hazardous material phase as an integrated component of the overall demolition program — ensuring proper sequencing and documentation without creating schedule delays.
Properties with historical fuel storage, dry cleaning operations, or other underground storage tank uses require UST assessment and potential removal before demolition and redevelopment. Fast General Contracting coordinates underground storage tank removal and site assessment with licensed environmental contractors as part of our pre-demolition program — managing the complete regulatory process including TCEQ notification, removal documentation, and site assessment reporting.
Fast General Contracting provides free demolition assessments for commercial and residential projects throughout DFW. We will walk your site, identify any hazardous material concerns, and give you an accurate scope and budget before you commit to any demolition program.
