ilot project Q & A
Slide3In the context of physical construction, deconstruction is the selective dismantlement of building components, specifically for re-use, recycling, and waste management. It differs from demolition where a site is cleared of its building by the most expedient means.
Deconstruction
(definition):
Slide4Why deconstruction?Diverts material
from entering local landfills through recycling and creative reuse.
Creates jobs and job training opportunities for both urban cores and rural areas alike.
Provides an opportunity for small businesses to emerge and thrive.
Provides the
same
end result as traditional demolition, a vacant lot.
Slide5There are several reasons but one of our biggest regional challenges is the lack of market or dedicated marketplace for consumers to purchase materials generated from deconstruction.
Why haven’t we seen more of it?
Slide6Know how to pick a winner!
Start with Safety
Is the building safe to enter?
Can your contractors safely perform their jobs? Would you work inside?
Perform an Environmental Assessment
Know what to look for and commit to sampling suspect materials.
Understand what building materials have value
Architectural features, hardwoods, other valuable building materials make deconstruction worth it.
Slide7Hazardous materials need to be on your radar!
By understanding both environmental policy and the associated remediation and disposal costs, you can get more bang for your budget. Develop a strategic bulk-sampling plan, that when combined with positive safety ratings and valuable building materials present, allow you to pick the very best deconstruction projects.
