Demolition permit & planning
Demolition work is subject to strict regulations to ensure a responsible process. Before starting work, a demolition permit is often required from the municipality. This authorisation depends on the size, location and type of building. For example, special permits are required for the demolition of buildings in conservation areas or properties protected by local plans.
An application for a demolition licence will typically include a report on how construction waste will be handled, especially if hazardous materials such as asbestos or lead are present. The municipality may also require an environmental report documenting compliance with environmental and occupational health and safety requirements.

Safety and environmental considerations
During demolition, it is essential to comply with the safety requirements set out in the Working Environment Act. Work must be planned to minimise the risk to both workers and the environment. For materials such as asbestos, PCB and lead there are special requirements for handling and disposal.
It is the employer's responsibility to ensure that a preliminary survey is carried out to identify hazardous materials before demolition begins. The area must be cordoned off and proper safety equipment must be used to prevent the spread of harmful substances. The Danish Working Environment Authority's guide for demolition is recommended as a practical guide to the correct approach.
Liability and fines for demolition
Breaking demolition regulations can have serious consequences. Lack of authorisation or incorrect handling of hazardous materials can result in fines for both individuals and companies.
That's why it's crucial to be aware of the rules before starting work. In particular, demolition of buildings with asbestos-containing materials requires authorisation. The authorisation ensures that the work is carried out safely and in accordance with current legislation.
