What is “exploratory demo”? Scott our superintendent explains why exploratory demolition was the right move in unit in a vintage high rise in the Gold Coast. Exploratory demo involves cutting into drywall, exposing the ceiling and ripping back carpeting to see the bones of the space we’re working on. This phase can be a mixed bag: you might find a problem you weren’t expecting one or what you were afraid to find might not be there at all. We are big advocates of exploratory demolition, so we can be transparent with homeowners and get ahead of change orders. We’d love to know what designers and other construction pros think about this phase! #behindthewalls #construction #homeremodeling #generalcontractor #underconstruction #homebuildingtips #chicagobuilder
