    Using Homes and Buildings as a Resource

    6May11

    There has been a few stories in the media lately of old homes and mansions being bulldozed to the ground to make way for redevelopment projects.

    Deconstruction of Construction and Demolition Waste

    7February10

    When buildings reach the end of their useful life, they are typically demolished and hauled to landfills. Building implosions or ‘wrecking-ball’ style demolitions are relatively inexpensive and offer a quick method of clearing sites for new structures. On the other hand, these methods create substantial amounts of waste.
