Hello!
On a plot of land within a very rural village that I am interested in, there is still a very large, simple old and somewhat leaning wooden barn, roughly the size of a two-story duplex. I do a lot of work myself, but this structure is simply too tall and massive for me. It is built with thick beams and covered with old beaver tail shingles. Part of the foundation is just concrete, but there are also more solid concrete structures in the lower area where agricultural machinery was previously stored. No known contamination such as diesel, but this cannot be completely ruled out.
The disposal of the wood from the demolition would be avoided by later use as firewood or partial reuse.
Of course, it is not possible to assess precisely from a distance, but would it still be possible to provide an approximate cost estimate?
Regards

Some people here have actually treated their shed wood, especially the exterior cladding, with used oil. The risk of diesel/oil contamination in the soil is always present.
This barn appears to be clean in that regard, with no visible stain, impregnation, or coating. Simply raw wood.
The seller of the completely unspectacular plot with the dilapidated large barn wants the price per square meter (square yard) for developed building land. I will take some photos and request quotes from demolition companies based on the measurements. My counteroffer will be based on that.
