In the heart of Uptown Charlotte, Custom Demo & Dismantling completed a complex multi-building demolition that demanded both technical precision and architectural sensitivity. The project involved the removal of several multi-story historic buildings with full basements, all while preserving the front façade of the main structure to be integrated into a new seven-story apartment complex.

​

A standout feature of this project was the design and execution of a custom-fabricated shoring system to support the preserved façade throughout demolition and construction. Developed in collaboration with structural engineers, the shoring system was fabricated off-site, then craned into position, assembled, and welded on site to meet Charlotte building code requirements. The structure was engineered to withstand substantial vertical and lateral loads, providing critical stability in a confined, high-traffic urban setting.

​

Executing this operation in Uptown Charlotte required precise logistical coordination, including street closures, traffic control, and strict adherence to OSHA safety standards. Our team’s meticulous planning and expert craftsmanship ensured the façade remained intact and structurally sound while demolition proceeded around it.

​

This project exemplifies Custom Demo & Dismantling’s capability to tackle challenging, high-profile urban projects that require a balance of historic preservation, structural engineering, and controlled demolition. It’s a clear demonstration of our commitment to quality, innovation, and the future of Charlotte’s evolving cityscape.
