Selective Demolition — Wichita · Derby · Park City · El Dorado
Demolition and Abatement on One Contract, One Schedule
Most demolition schedules in Wichita don't slip at the machine — they slip at the handoff, when the pre-demolition asbestos survey comes back positive and the GC has to stop, re-bid an abatement scope, and wait for a second contractor's clearance. iSi is headquartered in Wichita and self-performs both scopes: licensed asbestos abatement and selective demolition, sequenced by one crew base under one fixed-price contract. Response in under 30 minutes, fixed-price bids with a same-day response.
Wichita's Building Stock Was Built in the Asbestos Era
A large share of Wichita's industrial and commercial square footage — the aircraft-corridor plants, the south-industrial warehouses, the downtown and Delano-era commercial buildings — went up before 1980, when asbestos-containing materials were standard in insulation, flooring, roofing, and fireproofing. That makes the federal asbestos NESHAP the gating item on nearly every serious demolition scope in this market: 40 CFR 61.145 requires a thorough asbestos inspection before demolition begins, and a notification — filed with KDHE in Kansas — at least 10 working days before regulated work starts.
For a GC, that rule turns every demo bid into a sequencing question: who inspects, who abates, and how much schedule dies between the abatement contractor's clearance and the demolition contractor's mobilization. iSi's answer is that no schedule should die there at all — because in Kansas, we're the same contractor on both sides of that line.
What a GC Gets From iSi Demolition in Wichita
Selective & Interior Demolition Scope
iSi's Wichita demolition offering covers commercial and industrial work: interior selective demolition for tenant improvements and renovations — walls, ceilings, flooring, casework, MEP systems — plus equipment removal, process-area strip-outs, and partial structure takedowns. Protection of what stays, utility isolation coordinated with the GC, and clean debris separation are built into every scope, the same standards behind our full demolition service line and our asbestos abatement practice.
The NESHAP Sequence, Self-Performed
Under 40 CFR 61.145, full NESHAP requirements apply at 260 linear feet of regulated material on pipes, 160 square feet on other components, or 35 cubic feet off facility components — and a demolition notification is required even when the survey finds less than that. In Kansas the notification files with KDHE under K.A.R. 28-50-8, at least 10 working days ahead. iSi handles the sequence end to end: survey coordination, the KDHE filing, licensed abatement where the survey requires it, our own clearance, then demolition — with a typical iSi abatement project running about $15,800 and most falling between $5,000 and $75,000, priced fixed against the surveyed scope.
That's the difference between this page and the same page from a demo-only contractor: when the survey comes back positive — and in pre-1980 Wichita stock, it usually does — the project doesn't leave iSi's schedule to enter someone else's.
Where iSi Demolition Fits in Wichita

Process-area strip-outs, equipment removal, and line reconfiguration demo in active plants — sequenced around production, with dust and debris control the plant's own EHS team can sign off on.
Tenant Improvement Strip-Outs
Office, retail, and mixed-use interiors taken back to shell on a schedule the following trades can build against — protection of what stays, clean separation, dust control in occupied buildings.
Pre-1980 Building Renovation Demo
Selective removal in the downtown, Delano, and south-industrial building stock where asbestos is the rule, not the exception — survey, abatement, and demo on one contract.

Frequently Asked Questions
What demolition services does iSi provide in Wichita?
Interior selective demolition and structural demolition for commercial and industrial projects across the Wichita metro — tenant improvement strip-outs, renovation demo, equipment and MEP removal, process-area strip-outs, and partial structure takedowns. Crews mobilize from our Wichita headquarters, and every project is a fixed-price bid with a documented closeout package.
Is an asbestos inspection required before demolition in Kansas?
Yes. The federal asbestos NESHAP (40 CFR 61.145) requires a thorough asbestos inspection before any demolition begins, and a notification filed at least 10 working days before regulated work starts — in Kansas, with KDHE under K.A.R. 28-50-8. iSi is licensed to self-perform asbestos abatement in Kansas, so inspection, abatement, and demolition run on one contract and one schedule.
What happens if asbestos is found during a Wichita demolition project?
With iSi, the schedule holds, because the same contractor handles both scopes. A typical iSi asbestos abatement project runs about $15,800, with most between $5,000 and $75,000 depending on surveyed scope — priced fixed against the survey, then demolition proceeds behind our own clearance. With separate subs, that discovery usually means a re-bid and weeks of schedule loss.
How does iSi price demolition work in Wichita?
Fixed price against a written scope — what comes out, what stays and gets protected, debris handling, and exclusions. Quotes get a same-day response once scope details are in hand, and the number doesn't move unless the scope does.
What does iSi's demolition closeout documentation include?
Debris disposal documentation with RCRA characterization records where applicable (40 CFR Part 261), NESHAP notification and clearance records when asbestos was in scope, daily reports, photo documentation, and punch-out sign-off — delivered at completion, not chased for weeks after.
