​​​About 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. 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.
