A rising value of residential and nonresidential construction has generated a new demand for demolition. This demand paired with state-of-the-art machinery has laid the groundwork for technology’s role in revolutionizing the demolition industry. As hand labor is slowly being replaced with cutting-edge equipment, the approach to modern day demolition is evolving to meet the needs of a competitive market. Strategic partnerships have long been an essential component of construction and demolition ventures. When an experienced workforce meets powerful machinery, a productive working environment is born. Robinette Demolition, Inc. and Cratos Equipment are the product of this strategic combination.
