It depends on the type of building, if you want to save any of the materials, and what tools you have available. - I have knocked down old buildings by hand, with hammer and crowbars to preserve old bricks, stonework and fine woodwork, -on the other hand if it was a cheaply built structure with nothing special about it, an excavator or back-hoe could simply crush it and put all the pieces in a demolition bin.

What is the use of cantilevers in construction?
: I would consider the most common use for cantilever beams to be in building construction.....and probably the most obvious example is in mediaeval buildings with a framework of oak beams . Everyone must have seen these old buildings where the upper stories are wider than the ground floor , very common in Europe . The ceiling beams for the ground floor (also the floor beams for the upstairs rooms)are arranged to project out through the walls by 10-18 inches (30-45cm) , and the wall structure for the upper stories is built apon the projecting ends . This allows a larger open space to be achieved in the ground floor rooms without annoying support pillars because the weight is partly offset by the weight of the upper stories acting as a counter balance . This technique has been described as a way to avoid the tax on the building 'footprint', but this is not true in all countries where it was adopted , the tax merely prompted a wider acceptance of the technique . The same building tricks are used on modern buildings and bridges , but are not always obvious or visible when the structure is completed .
