Los Angeles Site Demolition Contractor

For over 40 years, Intracut has specialized in transforming Los Angeles properties through expert site demolition and structural removal. Whether you are a developer removing a massive parking lot or a property owner dealing with complex subsurface obstructions, our team delivers the specialized equipment and technical expertise your project demands.

We understand that a successful build depends on the quality of the initial site demolition. That’s why we bring a seasoned perspective to every job, handling everything from surgical subsurface removals to total site stripping to ensure your site is truly construction-ready.

Customer FAQs:

Beyond just removing surface structures, we ensure the area is stripped of debris and subsurface obstructions. Our goal is to leave a “clean slate” so that your next phase of development can begin immediately. To achieve this, we utilize high-capacity loaders and excavators, as well as specialized equipment like mini-excavators and skid-steers for precision removal in tight urban environments.

We are committed to eco-friendly practices. Rather than sending everything to a landfill, we sort debris on-site to salvage recyclable materials such as concrete and steel. All waste materials not site sorted are taken to a Construction and Demolition sorting facility to finely separate the materials for recycling.  This reduces environmental impact and, in many cases, helps lower disposal fees for our clients.

Site demolition is the process of removing existing man-made structures—such as curbs, sidewalks, parking lots, and foundations—to return a property to a clean, buildable state. Please note: Intracut specializes in existing built site improvements removal; we do not perform “land clearing” for new housing tracts or raw acreage.

Yes. We carry comprehensive General Liability and Workers’ Compensation insurance specifically tailored for high-risk demolition activities. We are also fully bonded and licensed to operate in this jurisdiction, ensuring that you, your property, and our crew are protected from any liability throughout the project.

If your project is a complete building demolition without any new construction, we handle the complete permit process with your city and the AQMD, testing for hazardous materials  prior to demolition.

Absolutely. We perform selective site demolition, where we remove unwanted items like old parking lots, trees, landscaping, waterproofing, fountains, or concrete pads while carefully protecting the trees or natural features you wish to keep.

Site Demolition for LA’s Unique Terrain

Developing property in Los Angeles often means dealing with tight urban footprints, hillside regulations, and complex city codes. We provide specialized site demolition services tailored to the LA landscape, ensuring that your site is cleared safely and in full compliance with local environmental and safety standards.

  • Urban Navigation: Expertly maneuvering heavy machinery in dense Los Angeles neighborhoods.
  • Permit Alignment: Ensuring all site clearing adheres to specific LA County and city ordinances.

Site Preparation for New Development

A successful build starts with a site that is truly ready for the foundation. Our site demolition process goes beyond just hauling away old asphalt; we prepare the site for the specific engineering needs of Southern California construction. Whether you’re clearing a commercial lot in DTLA or a residential plot in the hills, we solve the logistical headaches of site preparation.

  • Hardscape & Pavement Removal: Tearing out old Los Angeles infrastructure like cracked concrete and outdated parking lots.
  • Foundation-Ready Grading: Leaving the site at the rough elevation needed for your next phase.
  • Fast-Track Timelines: Managing our crew to keep your LA project on its strict development schedule.

Pro Tip

Before you begin site demolition, have your civil engineer or architect identify any existing sub-grade materials that can be crushed and reused as “clean fill” or a stabilized base for your new parking lot.

Debris Clearing for a Build-Ready Foundation

A major pain point for developers is the logistical nightmare of “leftover” material. We don’t just move piles of rubble; we provide a full-circle haul-away and recycling solution.

  • Eco-Friendly Sorting: We separate concrete, metal, and green waste for local recycling.
  • High Volume Haul-Away: We ensure your site is cleared quickly by by semi trucks, super 10 trucking, or utilizing roll-off containers provided directly by our sister company, Metropolis Disposal.
  • Inspection-Ready Sites: We leave the property in a state that is ready for your grader to perform their removal, recompaction and fine grading work.

Did You Know?

Under the City of Los Angeles C&D Waste Management Ordinance, all projects are required to divert at least 65% of their debris away from landfills.

Intracut Customers Love Us . . Here’s Why

  • 100% professional job

    Intracut did an amazing wall saw cut for a new oversized double door exit. 100% professional job!!! I highly recommend Intracut!!!!
    James in Van Nuys, CA

  • Work was outstanding

    For a brick retaining wall to be constructed around a towering cedar tree on our property, we needed a perfect L-shaped cut sawed at an 8-inch depth into the irreplaceable old stone and concrete patio.
    Russ in Los Angeles, CA

  • Finished sooner than expected

    Really helped me out when I was up against a deadline and my regular coring contractor was unavailable. I did the T&M option and had a pretty good idea how long it would take and they finished sooner than expected.
    James in Los Angeles, CA

  • Delivered on time and on budget

    I called Intracut to do some concrete cutting that required flush cutting a slab under a stud wall in four locations. These guys brought their A game to the jobsite and had the right tool to do the job correctly.
    Kevin in Los Angeles, CA

  • Efficient and reliable

    I used Intracut for core drilling holes or cuts in concrete. They’re probably the most responsive company I use as a contractor – I call them, describe the job and they have someone out the next morning that gets it done fast and correctly.
    Joel in Los Angeles, CA

  • Precision within 4 hr min

    Our Intracut tech did a perfect job of maneuvering the massive walk behind wet saw cutting machine inside our tight garage foundation underpinning project.
