Newer housing stock, tighter site access
Because so much of Barrhaven was built from the 1990s onward, and new phases are still being added today, demolition jobs here are less likely to involve the kind of legacy hazardous materials found in older Ottawa housing stock. What Barrhaven does demand is careful planning around access: newer subdivisions are often built with narrower side yards and closer neighbouring setbacks than older parts of the city, so getting equipment in and out without damaging fencing, landscaping, or a neighbour’s property takes real site planning before the first piece of equipment arrives. A standard building permit still applies to any structure demolition in Ottawa, including Barrhaven, so we confirm that’s in place before work begins.
