Broadmoor Bluffs DemolitionHillside Teardowns & Rebuild Prep
Hillside custom-home teardowns & rebuilds in Colorado Springs, CO.
The southwest side of Colorado Springs, including Broadmoor Bluffs and neighborhoods along the foothills, mixes mid-century houses with newer custom homes on sloped lots with views. Teardowns here are driven by owners and builders who want to replace an older house with something larger or better placed on the same hillside.
The slope is what makes these projects different. Access, retaining walls, drainage and heavy equipment on a grade all need planning, and Colorado Springs Demolition Co builds the job around the lot rather than a standard flat-site template.
What Broadmoor Bluffs Demolition Jobs Look Like
Whole-house teardown on a slope
Removing an older home down to foundation or bare ground on a steep or terraced lot, with controlled equipment placement.
Retaining wall and terrace removal
Taking out failing or obsolete walls, steps and terraced landscaping ahead of a new design.
Pool and hardscape removal
Breaking out and filling pools, patios and decks, with disposal of the concrete and fill planning for your builder.
Partial demolition for additions
Removing a section of the home to make room for an addition while protecting the part that stays.
Permits & Regulations for Broadmoor Bluffs Projects
Requirements depend on the property and scope. We help you confirm the current rules with the agencies involved rather than assume them.
PPRBD permits and geologic awareness
Demolition is generally permitted through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department. Hillside and foothills lots may involve extra geotechnical or grading considerations for what follows demolition, so involve your engineer early.
Wildfire and hillside rules
Parts of the foothills are in mapped wildfire or hillside overlay areas. These rules mostly affect new construction and some site work, so ask the City which apply to your lot.
Asbestos in mid-century homes
Homes from the 1950s through 1970s may contain asbestos in flooring, ductwork wrap, textured ceilings and roofing. Inspection and CDPHE Regulation 8, Part B notification are typically part of the process.
Colorado 811 and utility capping
Hillside lots often have long service runs. We use Colorado 811 for locates and work with providers on disconnects.
Broadmoor Bluffs Site Access & Logistics
Steep driveways and narrow roads
Some streets are winding and steep, which limits truck size and hauling windows. We check access before mobilizing, and may stage equipment off-site.
Slope stability and erosion control
Removing a structure and its retaining walls can change drainage and stability on a hillside. We follow your engineer's plan for temporary erosion controls and shoring.
Neighbors and views
On a hillside, dust and noise carry. We coordinate hours and use water for dust control, and let neighbors know what to expect.
