Deconstruction

Deconstruction is construction in reverse:

Carefully dismantling buildings and saving the materials to be reused instead of sending them to a landfill. Demolition creates waste, but deconstruction creates jobs, reusable materials - and tax deductions.

Deconstruction is a cost-effective way to remove residential and commercial structures while maximizing material recovery. Performed mostly by hand, this method can result in the salvage of up to 85% of a building’s material for reuse.

Deconstruction is a greener alternative and it:

Reduces the environmental impact of construction practices
Conserves landfill space by reusing quality-building material
Creates new job opportunities in a developing field
