Demolition and debris removal in Miami-Dade.
Everything that has to come out, taken out and taken away.
Interior strip-outs, concrete cutting, selective structural removal and full site clearing. We scope it, run the survey and the permit, bring the licensed contractor and clear the site.
Every container and hauling rate is published in full, next to the county tariff underneath it. Billed from the scale ticket, and you get the ticket.
What we remove
Eleven scopes, one point of contact, one estimate.
Most of these overlap on a real job, so they are scoped and scheduled together rather than quoted as a menu. Where a scope needs a contractor license, the license holder contracts that part with you directly and you see their number first. The clearing and the hauling are ours, and the last item on the list we also sell on its own.
Interior Demolition
Partitions, ceilings, finishes and fit-out stripped back to shell, with the structure left intact.
Residential Demolition
Single-family homes, additions, garages and accessory structures, cleared to grade.
Commercial Demolition
Retail, office, restaurant and warehouse space taken back to a leasable shell.
Concrete Demolition
Slabs, footings, driveways, decks and walls cut, broken out and hauled.
Selective Demolition
Removing exactly what the drawings mark and nothing beside it, with the rest left in service.
House Demolition
Full teardown of a house, from disconnects and survey through to a graded, cleared lot.
Pool Demolition
Partial or full pool removal, backfilled and compacted to a buildable, documented standard.
Kitchen Demolition
Cabinets, counters, tile, appliances and substrate out in a day, ready for the next trade.
Bathroom Demolition
Fixtures, tile, waterproofing and substrate removed down to sound structure.
Structural Demolition
Load-bearing elements removed under an engineer's sequence, with shoring in place.
Debris Removal and Disposal
Containers placed and swapped, or trucks loaded direct, with the debris separated at source and the disposal tickets handed over.
Capabilities
Machine work, hand work and cutting.
Most jobs are some combination of the three, and which one dominates is what decides the method, the protection and the price. Each frame below is tagged for what it is.
Our own plant
Three excavators, five containers, two trucks.
Three excavators, the containers and the trucks are ours rather than rented from somebody else, which is why a date for them is a date rather than a maybe. We do not let machines out by the day: they come with the work, and the work they run on their own is the clearing and the hauling, which is the one scope Florida does not gate behind a contractor license.

How we price
No second invoice.
The usual way to sell a container in this county is a low headline and an overage nobody publishes, so the customer pays most for the one thing they could not predict. We do it the other way round.
The weight before the price
Florida measured it: mixed construction debris runs 0.24 tons per cubic yard, so a 20 yard box filled to the rail weighs 4.8 tons, not the 2.5 this market's allowance implies. Our calculator shows you that before you order rather than after.
The county tariff, next to ours
Miami-Dade charges $115.80 a ton at the gate without a disposal contract and $76.12 with one. Both numbers are printed on our price list with a link to the county's own document, so the arithmetic can be checked instead of trusted.
The margin in the base, not the overage
Our overage is $125 against that $115.80 gate rate. You pay us for the truck and the service, which is printed, and you pay the landfill for a load heavier than you guessed. Billed from the scale ticket, and you get the ticket.
Ask any hauler for two numbers in writing: the tonnage included, and the charge per ton over it. One without the other is half a price.
Instead of badges
County orders, state statutes, health department pages and the landfill tariff. Every figure on this site links to the document it came from.
38documented local differencesAcross 8 places in 3 counties, each one a published requirement rather than a sentence about the area.
11scopes, priced as one jobMost jobs use three or four at once, which is why the estimate is one number rather than a menu.
0numbers we made upWhere the public record is silent this site says so and names the gap, which is a shorter page and a more useful one.
Before you call
Who does what, plainly
Taking a building apart is licensed contracting in Florida, and ISP GROUP LLC does not hold that license today. We are not offering to perform licensed demolition and nothing on this site is a bid for it.
What we do: walk the site and write the scope, run the asbestos survey and the federal notification, carry the permit paperwork through the county, bring in a licensed demolition contractor who contracts that part of the work directly with you, and handle the clearing, hauling and disposal ourselves. You see the licensed contractor’s number before anything is signed.
Clearing and hauling are a separate matter and are offered directly, with a published price: our own containers and trucks, and our own machines loading them. Carrying a load away is not contracting under chapter 489. It is permitted under the county’s solid waste code instead, which is a different office and a different number. We do not let plant out by the day; the machines come with the work.
When the license is issued, that changes and this notice changes with it. Until then this is the honest version, and a contractor who is vague with you about the same question is worth a second look.
How a job runs
The permit clock starts on day one, not on day thirty.
Most delays in Miami-Dade demolition are not the demolition. They are the survey, the notice and the disconnects, done in the wrong order.
- 01
Walk the site
We measure, photograph and mark what goes and what stays. We call back the same working day and visit within forty-eight hours of that call.
- 02
Survey and notice
Miami-Dade requires an asbestos survey before demolition, and the notification runs ten working days. We start that clock on day one so it is not the thing holding up your job.
- 03
Permit and disconnects
Application, DERM review, utility disconnects. You get the submittal date and the review status, not a shrug.
- 04
Demolish
Protection in, containment up, work sequenced so the building keeps running around us where it has to.
- 05
Haul and hand over
Debris separated and hauled, floor swept, openings secured, photographs of the finished state in your inbox.
FAQ
The six things people ask before they call.
Do I need a permit to demolish the inside of my condo?
Usually yes. Miami-Dade treats interior demolition as permitted work once you touch anything structural, mechanical, electrical or plumbing, and most buildings also run their own approval on top of the county's. We tell you which of the two is the long pole before you commit to a date.
Why does an asbestos survey apply to my building?
In Miami-Dade a survey is required ahead of demolition regardless of the year the building went up, and ahead of renovations above a size threshold. It is a federal NESHAP rule the county enforces, not a local preference. If the survey comes back clean, you have the document and the job proceeds.
How long does the notification take?
Ten working days from a correctly filed notice. It runs in parallel with everything else, which is why we file it first rather than last.
What does demolition cost in Miami?
It moves with access, height, disposal weight and whether abatement is involved, so an honest answer needs a site visit. What we will tell you on the phone is the range your job sits in and what would push it to the top of that range.
Do you haul the debris or is that separate?
We haul. Demolition and disposal under one scope is the point: two contractors means two schedules and a pile sitting on your site between them.
Which areas do you cover?
All of Miami-Dade County, from Aventura and Sunny Isles down to Homestead, including the municipalities that run their own building departments, and north into Broward and Palm Beach. The three counties send the asbestos notice to three different authorities, which is the part that actually changes, and there is a page for each.
Tell us what needs to come out.
Send the address and a few photographs. We call back the same working day, visit within forty-eight hours of that call, and send the written scope within forty-eight hours of the visit.
