        "text": "Interior demolition involves the selective removal of non-structural and interior elements inside a building while keeping the exterior shell and core structure intact. Typical projects include stripping kitchens, gutting bathrooms, pulling up flooring, and removing non-load-bearing partition walls. In commercial spaces, it often refers to tenant improvement strip-outs down to the concrete slab and perimeter studs. Structural demolition, by contrast, removes foundational components, bearing walls, roof structures, or entire buildings. A selective interior demo allows property owners to reconfigure layouts, update mechanical systems, and prepare spaces for remodeling without rebuilding from the ground up.",
