Define a detached garage removal from roof to base

Provide accessible photographs showing all sides, its relationship to the house and neighbouring structures, and the route from the street. Describe attached lean-tos, storage areas, fencing and landscaping that remain. Do not assume a structure is independent merely because there is a visible joint.

List the roof, walls, doors and any contents separately. Clearing stored items is not automatically included in demolition. If items are being retained, arrange their removal or identify them before the assessment so they do not remain an unresolved condition.

State whether the concrete slab, footings and any other foundations are proposed for removal or retention. An intended new garage may have different requirements from a garden or parking area. Ask the future designer what information is needed about the existing base.

Identify known electrical, water, drainage or other services and obtain the relevant disconnection and locate information. Permit and planning requirements must be checked with the property’s municipality. Neighbouring property access should be agreed rather than inferred from a narrow side passage.

Describe the intended use and the desired handover, including which surfaces remain. Removal does not automatically include excavation, new drainage, imported fill or landscaping. Give YAK the structure details, service status and base decision so the enquiry can be assessed without bundling unrelated site work into it.
