What is Deconstruction?
Building deconstruction and reclamation is an alternative to traditional demolition. Workers dismantle all or part of buildings with an eye for preserving historic materials and/or structures with integrity for reintegration into the current project or for inventorying for future reuse. With adequate lead time, deconstruction teams can recycle and repurpose up to 90% of the structure.
Economic and Environmental Impact
Building deconstruction and reclamation has economic savings, environmental benefits, and creates jobs by:
- Offsetting the cost of demolition through tax deductions
- Diverting up to 50% – 90% of building waste from landfill
- Reusing valuable lumber resources instead of cutting new growth timber
- Maintaining carbon sequestration in salvaged lumber
- Providing labor opportunities for the construction trades
Our services include consultation, acquisition, deconstruction and reintegration.
