How It Works

At Scale or Unit by Unit — We Work Your Way.

01
Tell us about the building
Text or call us at (844) B4U-DEMO. Share the building type, number of units, what's being replaced or cleared, and your renovation or demo timeline. We work with buildings of all sizes — from a two-flat to a large apartment complex.
02
We design around your scope
A Before U Demo advisor evaluates the materials across your units and recommends the right sale approach — a single building-wide event, phased unit-by-unit sales, or a hybrid. We promote to our buyer network, including contractors and bulk buyers who specifically seek identical multi-unit materials.
03
Buyers clear it. You get paid.
Buyers purchase and remove at their cost — cabinets, appliances, flooring, fixtures, and more across every unit. You receive proceeds after the sale and hand a significantly cleaner building to your demo or renovation crew.

24-unit apartment gut rehab · Logan Square, Chicago
"We were gutting the kitchens and baths across 24 units — identical cabinets, appliances, and fixtures throughout. Before U Demo brought in buyers specifically looking for that kind of volume. We recovered more than three times what we budgeted for disposal."
— Property owner, Logan Square
$12,900 in Sales
6-unit building renovation · Pilsen, Chicago
"Small building but every unit had the same original hardwood floors and kitchen setup. Before U Demo told us upfront that matching sets across multiple units make buyers more competitive, not less. They were right."
— Landlord, Pilsen
$62,600 in Sales
Phased renovation · 18-unit building, Evanston, IL
"We couldn't vacate all units at once, so Before U Demo ran three phased sales as units turned over. Every sale was organized cleanly and worked around our renovation schedule. We kept the proceeds rolling in over six months."
— Property manager, Evanston

Common Questions

Before Your Renovation Starts, Here's What to Know

It comes down to volume and consistency. A contractor renovating their own properties wants 12 matching kitchen sets — not one. A flipper looking for hardwood flooring wants enough to cover a full project, not a single unit's worth. A bulk reseller wants identical fixtures in quantity because it's easier to sell.

Multi-unit buildings often have identical or near-identical materials across units — the same cabinets, the same appliances, the same flooring run repeated across every floor. That consistency is a feature to the right buyer, not a limitation. It attracts a category of serious buyers who specifically search for multi-unit sources and are willing to pay accordingly because sourcing that volume from individual residential sales would take months.

Yes — phased sales are one of the most common formats we use for multi-unit buildings. If you can't vacate all units simultaneously, we design a sale schedule that works with your renovation timeline. As units become available, we organize and run sales in batches. Each phase is promoted and managed independently, and proceeds accumulate across the renovation rather than coming in a single lump sum.

This approach works particularly well for occupied buildings doing rolling renovations — units get cleared as tenants leave, materials get sold before the renovation crew moves in, and the building stays on schedule throughout. Reach out early so we can plan the phasing around your projected vacancy timeline.

There is no firm minimum. We've run successful sales in two-flats and four-unit buildings where every unit had original hardwood floors, vintage fixtures, and full kitchen sets. The math on a small building can work extremely well when the materials have genuine quality and resale value.

The honest answer is: it depends more on what's in the units than how many units there are. A 4-unit building with original 1920s hardwood, period fixtures, and intact kitchen sets may generate more buyer interest than a 20-unit building with builder-grade materials from the 1980s. Reach out with photos or a description of the materials and we'll give you a real assessment.

Yes — property managers, ownership groups, REITs, and development companies are some of our most consistent commercial clients. The workflow adapts to how you operate: we can coordinate with your on-site management team, work within your vendor approval process, and structure proceeds reporting to match your accounting requirements.

If you manage a portfolio with multiple properties heading toward renovation or redevelopment, it's worth a conversation about building Before U Demo into your standard pre-renovation workflow. Some operators now include projected sale proceeds as a line item in their renovation pro formas before construction even starts.

Access is coordinated carefully. Buyers only enter units that are fully vacated and cleared for the sale. We never schedule buyer access to occupied units — that boundary is absolute. For buildings that are partially occupied during a phased renovation, each sale phase covers only the vacated units confirmed by you before we schedule anything.

Removal logistics are managed on-site by our Demo Pro. Buyers know in advance that they're responsible for disassembly and removal, and removal windows are scheduled to minimize disruption to any remaining tenants. For large items across multiple floors, we coordinate elevator access and building management requirements as part of the sale plan.
