Manhattan apartments and brownstones are icons of New York living—yet dated floor plans, aging utilities, and worn finishes often hide behind their historic charm. Interior demolition is the first decisive step toward any successful renovation, and no one handles it with more accuracy than CountBricks. Powered by real-time voice capture, AI-driven estimating, and dynamic material databases, CountBricks makes “manhattan interior demolition” safer, faster, and more predictable for homeowners, architects, and contractors alike.
• Vertical logistics: narrow stairwells, shared elevators, and strict service hours
• HOA and co-op board approvals that demand detailed scope documentation
• Noise and dust limits enforced by city ordinances and building management
• Landmark and DOB permitting that can stall schedules without seasoned guidance
CountBricks anticipates each of these hurdles, embedding them into our AI estimate engine so your project stays on budget and on time from day one.

6. Final inspection, debris recycling confirmation, and a ready-to-build site handoff
• Debris removal distances to transfer stations outside Manhattan
• After-hours elevator reservations and freight fees
• Historic material disposal requirements (plaster, lead paint, asbestos)
• Selective versus full-gut scope complexity
CountBricks AI factors each variable in real time, letting you toggle scope items and instantly see price and timeline impacts.
CountBricks is OSHA-certified and follows EPA RRP protocols. Our debris tracking module documents every pound diverted from landfills, offering homeowners Green Building credits and peace of mind.
• Onsite HEPA filtration and negative air containment
• Barcode-scanned debris bins to validate recycling rates
• Salvage partnerships that donate reusable doors, fixtures, and flooring
Unlike stand-alone demo firms, CountBricks keeps your renovation trajectory in sight. Our AI carries forward wall layouts, MEP rough-ins, and finish schedules so designers and GCs have an accurate digital twin before framing begins. That means fewer clashes, tighter budgets, and smoother inspections down the line.
• Book elevator time blocks early—holiday moratoriums fill fast
• Notify neighbors two weeks ahead to minimize complaints
• Combine demo with rough-in mapping to save on scanner services
• Request a materials salvage report; tax deductions can offset fees
• Review DOB after-hours variance options to shorten overall schedule

Project Snapshot
A four-story, 1890s brownstone needed a modern open-concept layout, upgraded utilities, and rooftop access. CountBricks partnered with the homeowner and architect to execute a phased interior demolition without disturbing occupied adjacent units.
• Landmark façade restrictions demanded vibration monitoring
• A single 3’-wide staircase served as the primary debris route
• Lead-painted lath and plaster required specialized containment
1. Our laser takeoff identified 1,850 sq ft of selective wall removal, generating an instant estimate that satisfied the homeowner’s lender within 24 hours.
2. We scheduled demolition during building-approved windows, logging crew activity through voice notes that auto-synced to the client portal.
3. HEPA-equipped negative air machines maintained air quality; real-time particulate readings were shared with neighbors to build trust.
4. Using barcode-tracked bins, we diverted 68 % of debris to recycling centers, earning the project a Green Renovation Certificate.
• Demolition completed five days ahead of schedule
• Final cost landed 3 % under the AI estimate despite unforeseen joist repairs
• Ready-to-build handoff included a digital twin with annotated joist locations, saving the framing contractor two field days
CountBricks delivers more than demolition; we provide data-rich groundwork for the entire renovation lifecycle. By pairing voice-captured field intelligence with real-time cost updates, we remove guesswork and empower faster design decisions. Ready to see similar results?
