demolition experts

Professional structure razers

Demolition experts are specialists who destroy buildings and other structures, typically using explosives or heavy machinery.

The term applies both to professionals who safely bring down condemned structures and, in military or criminal contexts, to those who blow things up: The demolition experts rigged the old stadium with charges.

Also called demolition men or demo crews.
