Tendering of Demolition Projects

Better tender basis for demolition projects

Today, tender prices for demolition projects typically fluctuate more than is the case for other types of construction work, and the final price is often higher than expected. Often, conflicts arise between the parties about whether the demolition work has been carried out as agreed with regard to scope and quality, with critical delays as a conse- quence.

Better demolition leads to a more competitive project

The conflicts between the parties are typically because the basis of the tender has been unclear. There are many reasons for this, but it primarily seems to be that the actors in the construction industry are generally uncertain about how demolition projects are described and tendered in practice.

The purpose of this guide is therefore to better prepare clients and the construction industry’s other actors for the future tendering of demolition projects. Better tendering of demolition projects will lead to a better competitive basis and an increased certainty that the work will be carried out as expected.
