Deconstruction Services
Deconstruction is the systematic dismantling of a structure in order to prioritize
salvage of materials for reuse and does not preclude the use of heavy machinery.
Salvaging reusable material supports the local economy, creates jobs, supports
small businesses and offers an affordable option for residents and businesses to acquire
quality used building materials such as old-growth lumber. A deconstruction has significant carbon reduction benefits compared to demolition by preserving the embodied carbon and energy of existing building materials and avoiding the creation of greenhouse gasses associated with producing new materials. Deconstruction methods minimize dust and increase the likelihood of discovery of unabated hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead, and mercury, reducing health risks to workers and neighbors.
