About [Edit]
This Deconstruction Guide provides guidance to deconstruction managers, supervisors and workers who are planning or conducting building deconstructions. It is also appropriate for anyone who resells or redistributes salvaged materials from buildings.
What is deconstruction?
Deconstruction is a process of building disassembly in order to recover the maximum amount of materials for their highest and best re-use. Re-use is the preferred outcome because it requires less energy, raw materials, and pollution than recycling does in order to continue the life of the material. As a consequence of deconstruction, there are also many opportunities for recycling other materials along the way.
