The restaurant and retail world is a strange place business wise.
Received a request for budget pricing to demo this small strip building within a larger big box development. The mall owner is going to enter into a ground lease with a national steak joint for a new building on this site.
The landlords responsibility is to remove the existing building and parking lot, provide a certified building pad, grade and pave the proposed parking lot and bring utilities to within 5' of the proposed building. The front entrance for the proposed restaurant is roughly between the State Farm and H&R Block signs.
This is a nice building with a brick facade on 3 sides on CMU backup walls. The end cap apparently had a business with a drive thru at one time.
This is a good demo job. Our beneficial fill lot is not far for all the non-regulated materials - asphalt, concrete, brick and block. The roof structure is steel bar joists with metal decking and the interior partition walls are metal studs which will all go to the shredder to be made into new ductile iron pipe. Very little will actually go to the landfill.
With the age of the building I would wager the main services from the meter to the panels are copper wire, big wire. If so that will be a nice little bonus.
The building is in good shape, I don't understand how all the $$ works on deals like this but it's our job to price and perform what our customers ask.
We'll see if the project actually comes to fruition. During the year I budget price a lot of projects for our good clients that never happen however by doing so it keeps us in front of them for the projects that do go.
