Demolition companies around here probably don’t really master deconstruction, they all talked about lots of sorting.
Sorry, I only half wrote the thought earlier: the other half of "this method doesn’t fit here" is that demolition companies are therefore also the wrong contacts.
Deconstruction instead of demolition means: it’s better here to take those who also "build houses forward." Practically speaking: carpenters, roofers, and drywall installers.
Or self-performance in the form of procuring containers, an excavator operator working on a time and material basis,
... I rather don’t see that here, because that would also be more demolition.
Well, I only have the measured plans, but nothing that allows conclusions about the house’s construction.
From the plans it will be recognizable which manufacturer built the house. From manufacturer and year, one can find out how the construction and wall structure were. If the manufacturer still exists, they are the ideal partner for a renovation. If they no longer exist or you want to completely deconstruct (analogous to solid construction = "tear down"), then one of the carpentry companies currently offering house construction is the best partner. Then let the drywall installer expose the wall structure and the roofer expose the roof, and the carpenter can professionally dismantle the construction. Dumb smashing like in solid building demolition is not advisable here.
As soon as the carpenter has an overview of the construction, he can develop renovation proposals. With a clever architect, the renovation will be a smooth process.
I don’t expect contaminations in the "timber framework" for the mentioned construction years, but rather in the paneling. Removing it back to the shell is therefore the most cost-effective way.
Therefore, I would advise starting with a comparison: "building target" versus "building actual." And in a second step then pursue the question of if and with which compromises the desired house could be developed from the existing house.
Susi_90 and DonRolando want to continue using the basements anyway, I "hope" (?)
To be clear: deconstruction will not be cheap either. But it can be better turned halfway into a renovation (or at least generate reusable material). At best, the rubble will later "only" consist of bathroom and kitchen stuff, wall paneling, and floor coverings.
