What demolition work covers
Demolition in the Denver metro ranges from selective interior tear-out to partial exterior removal and full structure demo with haul-off. Dust, noise, and utility disconnects are part of planning. A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates demolition and related specialty trades for disconnects and abatement when required. Cost is project-specific and depends on volume, access, disposal, and hazardous-material handling.
text
Selective vs full demo
Selective demo protects adjacent finishes and structure. Full demo needs clear limits, safety fencing, and often more formal permitting and noticing.
text
Permits and who coordinates the work
City and County of Denver Community Planning and Development commonly requires demolition permits for substantial or full demolitions, and partial demo may need plans showing what remains. Landmark or citywide demolition review can apply. Pre-1978 paint disturbance can trigger EPA RRP rules. Cities and counties license general contractors. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license. Autotelic acts as a municipally licensed Denver general contractor and coordinates licensed specialty trades when utility or abatement work is included.

What buyers should prepare
Demo limits, salvage preferences, building age, and whether hazardous materials testing has been done.
FAQ
Common questions
Do I need a Denver demolition permit?
Often yes for full or substantial demolitions. Confirm with CPD; partial interior demo rules depend on scope.
Who handles demolition permits and licensing?
A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project and related specialty trades. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license.
What about lead paint in older buildings?
Disturbing paint in pre-1978 housing can trigger EPA RRP requirements. Testing and work practices should be planned before demo.
Can materials be salvaged?
Sometimes. Salvage goals should be written into the scope before tear-out starts.
What information helps define scope?
Photos or plans of what stays vs goes, building age, access constraints, and city or county.

DESIGN SERVICES
Discovery & Site Analysis
Needs + preference programming, site survey, as-built documentation, feasibility.
We walk, measure, and photograph your property — existing conditions, utilities, structure, and constraints. You get the as-built documentation and feasibility read that every later decision rests on.
Learn more →Concept Design & Space Planning
Schematic design, floor plan studies, layout options.
Your scope becomes schematic floor plans you can compare side by side — circulation, daylight, adjacencies, and what each option does to the budget. Layout decisions happen on paper, where changes are cheap.
Learn more →Architectural Design & 3D Renderings
Design development, materials + finishes, photorealistic visualization.
The chosen concept resolves into materials, finishes, fixtures, and lighting — with the automation layer drawn in. Photorealistic renderings let you walk the space and adjust before anything is priced.
Learn more →Construction Documents & Permitting
Full CD sets, structural + MEP engineering coordination, permit-ready drawings.
Approved designs become coordinated architectural, structural, and MEP sheets — the set your jurisdiction permits from and trades build from. We submit, track, and answer review comments.
