Deconstruction Training 

Our deconstruction and Executive team have provided many hours of deconstruction training to existing deconstruction teams and to new students both in the field and in classroom. We can tailor your training to meet the available site or team.   

Deconstruction Consulting

We do deconstruction but we can also assist others in performing deconstruction as well. We'll help you or your contractor:

• Determine best materials for salvage and your budget
• Create itemized report for appraisal for your tax filing

We can also assist with the following:

• Recommend materials for reuse versus recycling
• Incorporation of reclaimed materials in design
• Design for reuse – choosing materials that will be reusable in their next life
• Tax – deduction opportunities
• Charitable donations
• Resale of items from the site to benefit your bottom line and reduce project costs
• Resale of items integrated into our costs

Green Building Training

Our construction team can provide a unique green building training with a concentration on design for reuse, install for disassembly, deconstruction (of course), and a dive into deep green building concepts such as passive houses, rainwater catchment, and greywater.
