An office gutted for its next life as storage
Gorman Company bought a 94,000 SF office building in North Wales and needed it stripped for a self-storage conversion. Quantum ran a selective interior demolition — clearing walls, ceilings, RTUs and flooring while leaving the structure the build-out would rely on.

The Challenge
Strip it back — but not too far
Gorman Company purchased a 94,000 SF office building in North Wales, Pennsylvania with the intention of gutting it and converting it into a self-storage center. The job called for a selective interior demolition: remove most of the partition walls, fixtures and ceilings, but leave certain structures in place to support the new build-out.
That balance — take out everything the conversion didn’t need, preserve everything it did — is exactly what selective demolition is for.
The Approach
A clean, selective strip-out
Quantum started by safing-off the electrical, then worked methodically through the building — removing and disposing of the bathrooms with cuts and caps, disconnecting and removing all rooftop units with freon recovery, and pulling the ceiling tiles, light fixtures, flex duct and grid.
From there the crew took out the walls, bulkheads, soffits and drywall, and removed all of the flooring — carpet and tile — leaving the interior ready for Gorman’s storage build-out.
94,000 SFOffice selectively gutted
A 94,000 square foot office building, stripped of everything the conversion didn’t need — with the structure the new build-out relied on left intact.
Scope of Work
What the strip-out covered
Systems, surfaces and structure — removed selectively, floor by floor.
✓Electrical disconnection & safe-off
✓Bathroom removal & disposal, incl. cuts & caps
✓Rooftop units removed with freon recovery
✓Ceiling tiles, light fixtures, flex duct & grid
✓Walls, bulkheads, soffits & drywall
✓All flooring — carpet & tile
The Outcome
From empty offices to open storage
The interior came out cleanly, the structure stayed sound, and the building found a whole new use.
Stripped, structure intact
Walls, ceilings, RTUs and flooring came out — while the structures the build-out needed were left in place.
RTUs handled responsibly
All rooftop units were disconnected and removed with freon recovered rather than vented.
Now open as Vault Storage
The converted building now operates as Vault Storage, with units available for rent.

A lab building down to bare, seeded ground
For DeSimone Construction and CPR, Quantum demolished a laboratory building in Bristol — stripping it out, shearing it down, recycling the debris, and leaving the site raked, topped with soil and seeded for grass.

The Challenge
Take the building down — and take it all the way
DeSimone Construction hired Quantum Technology to demolish a laboratory building in Bristol, Pennsylvania. The job wasn’t just knocking it down: the site had to be cleared of all debris, leveled, and prepared for planting grass.
Because Quantum does equipment removal, electrical and mechanical disconnect and interior demolition alongside exterior and building demolition — and has a strong global resale arm — it can monetize items a general demo contractor would send to landfill, which usually makes Quantum’s demo pricing much less expensive.
The Approach
Check, clear, shear, recycle, restore
The crew first checked for asbestos and other hazards — in this case the building was clean. From there they cleared the interior debris, sheared the building down with a mini excavator, separated the debris into brick and metal for recycling, then raked the site, placed topsoil, seeded it and laid hay.
✓Asbestos & hazard check
✓Interior debris clear-out
✓Building sheared down with mini excavator
✓Debris separated into brick & metal for recycling
✓Raked, topsoiled, seeded & hayed
✓Site leveled & prepared for grass
The Outcome
A clean lot, ready to green over
The building came down, the debris was recycled, and the site was handed back graded and seeded.
Down to bare, level ground
The building was sheared down and the lot cleared of all debris, leveled and ready for its next use.
Debris recycled, not dumped
Brick and metal were separated out for recycling — part of why Quantum’s demo pricing comes in lower.
Seeded and handed back
The crew raked, placed topsoil, seeded and laid hay — leaving the site ready to grow in as green space.
