How difficult is it to demolish a 120 sqm summer cottage by oneself? It should be relatively easy with systematic work and a couple of large containers.
One could demolish everything and let the excavation company handle the foundation when they are laying the new foundation.
Does anyone have information on tipping fees? Most of it involves wood and treetex panels.

Now I don't know what it looks like in your case, but you can check with the fire department if they want to have a fire drill in the building, then they usually as a thank you for the help cover the removal of the remains after the fire.
I tore down a house. A burnt house, and I will not do such a demolition again.
You need a demolition permit, you need a recycling plan. In other words, you are required to specify exactly what you will do with every item. This must be submitted to the municipality's environmental & building committee.
Our house was a timber house that was clad with boards, the house was completely damaged inside and the entire roof. Externally, it wasn't actually that bad. The demolition itself went fairly well. It's easier to tear down a timber house than a stick-built house.
The biggest problem was all the environmental aspects. I tried to get the fire department to use the house as a training object and burn it down to the ground. But before they would agree to this, I would have to remove all the electrical cables, appliances, carpets, etc., myself. In short, it must only be clean wood if the fire department is to handle it.
In reality, the demolition was the insurance company's concern, but I wanted it to go quickly and show some goodwill. The insurance company saved a lot of money. I got half of what a contractor would have charged.
It took us 3 weeks to tear everything down, clean up the site, recycle, cut wood, and prepare the site for a new house. Who are "us"? Well, it was me and the guys, two incredibly capable boys aged 18 and 16. The house had a building area of 65 square meters and was 1.5 stories.

yes, it costs, but then compare to if you have to tear down a house, put it in containers (unsorted)
How many hours will that take? think that each container costs xx.xxx thousand kr each... plus the hours it takes to demolish and carry the stuff...

Well, container/tipping fees/transport costs you have to pay in any case... the only thing that actually becomes extra is the excavator, which can cost 300-600kr per hour plus delivery. But then you avoid the rental for the containers, and not least, you avoid a lot of "unnecessary" hassle...Rena said:
