Deconstruction
While demolition destroys infrastructure, building features, and materials and sends them to the landfill, deconstruction is a more environmentally-friendly alternative. Deconstruction is the systematic method of dismantling building structures and features to maximize their potential to be reused, resold, and/or recycled. Download the deconstruction brochure for more information.
About Deconstruction
In a deconstruction project, trained crews remove reusable building materials and components to be reused for different projects, while at the same time diverting these materials from the landfill.
