For more than 50 years, COMO has helped homeowners, custom home builders, developers
and foundation contractors move complex residential projects forward—from the first
teardown through excavation, shoring and site cleanup.
Serving Oakville, Burlington, Mississauga, Milton, Hamilton, Ancaster and surrounding
communities.
Decades of practical demolition
and excavation experience.
Focused service across Halton, Peel and Hamilton-area communities.
Custom home projects leave little room for guesswork. Site access, neighbouring properties,
deep excavations, material removal and builder schedules all need to be considered before work begins.
COMO brings demolition, excavation, shoring and disposal into one coordinated scope, giving
the project team a clearer path from the existing property to the next stage of construction.
A clear, professionally managed path from an existing property to a prepared construction site. Our team reviews the site, explains the required work and coordinates COMO’s scope.
Demolition and sitework planned around construction schedules, access conditions, neighbouring properties and the handoff to
foundation and structural trades.
Coordinated demolition, excavation, shoring and material removal for infill, redevelopment and custom residential sites across the region.
Excavation and site conditions approached with the foundation phase in mind, helping reduce avoidable delays between early sitework and construction.
The early stages of a custom home build are closely connected. COMO provides the core site services needed to remove the existing structure, prepare the ground, support challenging excavations and manage material leaving the property.
COMO has spent more than 50 years working on demolition and excavation
projects across the Greater Toronto Area. That history matters on custom
residential sites, where work often takes place close to neighbouring homes,
active roads, mature landscaping and tight construction schedules.
Our approach is straightforward: understand the property, plan the work, communicate with
the project team and leave the site ready for the next phase.
Coordinated Team
For more than 50 years, our work has been built around one simple principle: understand the site before the work begins. Every property is different, and on custom residential projects, the details matter—from access and neighbouring homes to excavation conditions, material removal, and construction timing. Builders and homeowners need a team that communicates clearly, plans carefully, and understands how each stage affects the next. That is the approach we bring to every project. Whether we are completing demolition, excavation, shoring, or disposal, our goal is to carry out the work properly and leave the site ready for the next phase of construction. We are proud of the experience COMO has built across the GTA, and we remain committed to the practical, hands-on service that has helped the company grow for more than five decades.”
COMO Demolition and Excavation
Demolition, excavation, shoring and disposal should not feel like four unrelated jobs. Each
