What this trade covers
This trade belongs to structural work: what keeps the house standing and watertight, from foundations to roof. The works are heavy and mistakes are costly to fix: take time to compare detailed quotes.
What to check on the quote
Two quotes only compare when they cover the same thing. These points often separate a complete offer from one that ends in extras.
Measurements and quantities
Areas, volumes and lengths are given line by line. Two quotes only compare at equal quantities.
Waste and access
Rubble, soil, skip, scaffolding: the quote says what is included.
The permit
Depending on the works and the municipality, a planning permit may be needed. Ask what the quote assumes.
The company number
The quote shows the company's CBE number. Check it on the public search of the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises before you sign.
VAT, deposit and validity
The quote states the VAT rate applied, any deposit and how long the price is guaranteed.
VAT
In a private home more than ten years old, most works invoiced by the contractor go down to 6% VAT instead of 21%. The invoice must carry the statement required for the reduced rate.
Demolition: choose your city
Each city page shows the registered pros whose address is in the area, and the regional renovation support.

Frequently asked questions
Demolition: what budget should you plan in 2026?
The price depends on the job, the materials and the access. Describe your project and compare several written quotes: it is free for homeowners.
Do you need an architect for these works?
Not always, but often as soon as the structure or envelope of the building changes, or a permit is required. Check with your municipality before you sign.
Which VAT rate applies?
In a private home more than ten years old, most works invoiced by the contractor go down to 6% VAT instead of 21%. The invoice must carry the statement required for the reduced rate.
How do you check a contractor before signing?
Check their company number at the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises, ask for a detailed written quote with VAT, and read the reviews. On Batizzy, the "CBE verified" badge marks pros who had their number checked, and a review is only possible after a real job.
