Deconstructing a commercial building is a virtuous endeavor, but one that demands specific experience and an enlightened approach. As the world’s premier commercial deconstruction consultant, PlanetReuse can help ensure your noble effort is also a smart business decision.


We act as liaison between building owners and demolition/construction contractors on a fee-based level to coordinate sustainably dismantling, repurposing, recycling and eliminating waste. Because we know how materials are commonly used (and can be reused), we’re uniquely equipped to identify what will sell and how to price it. We fully inventory all reusable materials in our online database.

 

 

the deconstruction process

  • 01

    You own a building that needs to come down. You'd like to deconstruct, but aren't sure where to start.

  • 02

    You contact PlanetReuse. We specify the requirements for your deconstruction (what can be reused or recycled, and what may need to be discarded) and and find qualified local demolition/deconstruction companies.

  • 02

    We facilitate effective deconstruction planning and education for the deconstruction training for the contractor, owner, design team and municipality.

  • 04

    Even before deconstruction commences, we aggressively seek new homes for the materials through our placement process.

  • 05

    We manage the project team’s recertification needs, including structural engineering reviews, third-party recertification, field visits and any other items necessary to allow reuse of building materials.

  • 06

    We coordinate the materials’ storage as needed, and document available inventory thoroughly for our online database.

  • 07

    We find homes for the reclaimed materials, you get paid (or get tax deductions), and we continue the placement process.
