Industries / Selective Demolition
Compliance software for selective demolition.
Interior strip-outs, salvage, partial structural removal, all with adjacent occupancy or active building operations. Different paperwork load. Same need for a single source of truth.
The regulatory floor
- OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart T (Demolition). Engineering survey, utility shutoff, hazard scoping. Applies to selective work as well as full take-downs.
- OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62, 1926.1101. Lead and asbestos rules apply whenever hazardous material is disturbed.
- EPA NESHAP. Renovation notification requirements when regulated asbestos-containing material above thresholds will be disturbed.
- Local dust-control, noise, and vibration ordinances. Vary by municipality and often by building, especially in healthcare, schools, and historic structures.
- LEED Materials & Resources credits. Where applicable, drive waste-diversion documentation.
What we actually solve
1. Cross-trade credential coverage
Selective demo crews carry a mix of credentials: asbestos worker for the abatement portion, lead-safe certification where painted surfaces are disturbed, OSHA 10/30 across the board, and equipment operator cards. Nexus tracks each credential per worker and blocks crew assignment when a required credential is missing.
2. Unexpected finds get documented
When the crew finds something behind the wall, the foreman files an incident or near-miss report from the field with photos attached. The finding lands against the project record so the office can scope the change order. (A dedicated discovered-hazard workflow with auto-generated change orders is on the roadmap.)
3. Daily field paperwork in the building
Pre-shift JHA covering the day's hazards, daily log, daily report with photos. Mobile-first so the foreman can finish them without going back to the trailer.
What you get
- Project records with site, building, owner, contractor, permit register, and document register.
- Crew credential tracking across asbestos, lead, OSHA 10/30, and equipment operator cards.
- Daily field forms (JHA, daily log, daily report, incident, near-miss).
- Photo timeline per project.
- Closeout PDF compiled from daily logs, JHA records, daily reports, permits, photos, and crew credentials.
What we deliberately don't do
- We don't yet model structured material-stream tracking, diversion-rate roll-up, or a dedicated discovered-hazard workflow with change-order generation. Those are planned.
- We don't currently model occupant-protection plans as a structured entity; upload the plan as a project document.
Frequently asked questions
What makes selective demolition different from a full take-down for compliance purposes?
You're usually working in or next to an occupied space, which adds dust control, vibration, noise, and occupant-notification requirements that a full take-down doesn't have. You also frequently encounter unknown hazards behind walls (asbestos, lead, hidden utilities) that drive change orders. Nexus tracks the planned scope as the project record and lets you file incident or near-miss reports for the unexpected finds; the formal change-order workflow with the office is on the roadmap.
Can the system track salvage and recycling diversion?
Not as a structured workflow today. Material-stream tracking with weight/volume/destination capture and LEED-style diversion-rate roll-up is a planned feature. Today, salvage and disposal records can be uploaded as project documents.
