Lauderhill, Broward County
Demolition in Lauderhill
Herbert Sadkin founded Lauderhill in 1959, and its Inverrary section was designed as a planned development around a country club that once hosted a PGA Tour event. Through the 1990s the city was mainly a retirement community, and condominiums still make up much of its housing.
In a city with this much condominium housing, interior demolition is a common request, and it is governed by the association's rules as much as by the permit. Older buildings put the asbestos survey first, before any ceiling, floor or wall finish is disturbed.
Some parts of Lauderhill are served by the City of Sunrise's municipal gas system rather than a private utility. That changes who issues the gas disconnect letter, and it is worth knowing before the application is assembled.
Single-family streets and commercial corridors follow the standard sequence: survey, utility disconnects, permit, demolition and final inspection.

Questions
Demolition in Lauderhill
Who issues the gas disconnect for a demolition in Lauderhill?
It depends on the provider. Parts of Lauderhill are on the City of Sunrise's municipal gas system; other properties may use a private utility. We confirm the provider from the account and request the disconnect letter from whoever holds the meter.
What does a demolition cost?
Every job is quoted from a site visit, or from photos and drawings when that is enough to see the scope. The number depends on what the building is made of, its size and height, what the asbestos survey finds, which utilities must be disconnected, access for equipment, how close the neighbors are, what stays and what goes, and where the debris is hauled. We do not publish prices, because two jobs that look alike rarely are.
What happens with asbestos before demolition?
The building is surveyed first by an independent licensed consultant, because federal rules require a thorough asbestos inspection before a regulated demolition and the county's notice depends on it. If the survey finds asbestos that the work will disturb, a licensed abatement firm removes it. Romco coordinates both; we are not an abatement contractor.
How long does a demolition take?
We do not quote durations before the facts are in. The schedule depends on permit review in your city, how quickly the utility disconnect letters arrive, what the asbestos survey finds and any notice period that follows, association approvals, and the size and construction of the building. Once those are known, we give you a sequence with the dependencies named.
