Demo on Commercial Building

Hi everyone! I posted some time back regarding moving my law firm to a large commercial property. We have since closed and been going over plans with our architect, designer, mech engineer, etc. There are a few big cap-ex and exterior projects that are the most pressing, and as a result, we are making slow but steady progress in the interior. The building has housed various professional businesses over the years and there is a massive amount of wiring that we are pulling out of the walls and ceiling. There is also a large amount of scrap metal between the old duct work and the metal studs in the walls. I imagine that when we start on the second building, we will encounter a similar situation. I've done a number of demos over the years but there has never been enough material to make any real money on scrap. I think this might be different. Anyone have experience scrapping these kinds of materials? Am I better off just selling in bulk to an actual scrapper? Other things I should be thinking about?
