In Kanata
What the work looks like in Kanata
Kanata North, along March Road and Legget Drive, is one of Ottawa’s largest concentrations of technology offices. Lease turnovers there mean demountable partitions, raised floors, server rooms and lab benching coming out, often while other tenants work in the same building.
Commercial debris cannot go to the City’s Trail Road landfill, which stopped accepting industrial, commercial and institutional waste on July 1, 2025. We haul to private licensed facilities, mainly the Tomlinson Waste Recovery Centre on the Carp Road corridor, a short drive from Kanata North, and provide weigh tickets and diversion records for your landlord.
Beaverbrook, Kanata’s original neighbourhood, dates from the mid-1960s, and much of Katimavik-Hazeldean followed in the 1970s and 80s. More about Kanata

Before work starts in Kanata
Interior strip-outs ahead of a fit-out are usually handled within the fit-up building permit, while taking down a whole building needs a demolition permit. Under Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act, the building owner provides a list of designated substances before the contract is signed.
Pre-1990 homes in Beaverbrook and Katimavik need a hazardous materials survey before the quote is final. Kanata North commercial strip-outs follow the building owner’s designated substances report.
Any building from before 1990 gets a hazardous materials survey first. If it finds asbestos or other designated substances, abatement is referred to licensed specialists, and our crew starts after the clearance letter.
Disposal
Torn out. Hauled out.
Every job ends ready for the next trade. Here is where the debris goes.
Since July 1, 2025 the City’s Trail Road landfill no longer accepts industrial, commercial and institutional waste (City memo). Commercial debris goes to private licensed facilities that sort and weigh every load, and we provide weigh tickets and a diversion summary.
On larger jobs, a roll-off bin from a licensed bin company sits on your property, and the bin company hauls it away and handles the tipping at its own facility.
On smaller jobs our crew loads our own trucks and hauls to the Tomlinson Waste Recovery Centre at 106 Westhunt Drive in Carp, which sorts mixed construction and demolition debris for recycling and accepts commercial loads.
Kanata is a short drive from the Carp Road corridor, so most loads go straight to the Tomlinson Waste Recovery Centre, and commercial jobs get a weigh ticket for every load.

Asbestos & permits
We don’t touch asbestos. That’s the point.
Some demolition companies will tell you they do it all. We do the demolition, and we make sure the steps before it happen in the right order, by the right people: survey first, licensed abatement, then us.
Read the asbestos and permit FAQ- Built before 1990? Ontario law puts the onus on the owner to identify designated substances before a contract is signed. That means a designated-substances survey.
- Survey finds asbestos? A licensed abatement contractor removes it, and you get a clearance letter.
- Utilities and permit. Gas, hydro, water and sewer disconnected where needed. Enbridge alone takes about 44 days, so it gets requested first.
- Then we demolish. No change orders for surprise asbestos, no stop-work orders, no crew exposed.
