Bay Area Deconstruction Working Group - October 23, 2024
The meeting focused on architects and contractors adopting methodologies better suited to a circular economy, with presentations from practitioners who are already enacting these shifts. The discussions covered the challenges and benefits of incorporating salvaged and reused resources in construction projects, the importance of early planning and communication with stakeholders, and the need for a shift from showpiece salvage to widespread reuse. The team also explored the potential for using salvage lumber in California, the development of a salvage assessment template, and the importance of aligning project goals with the owner's sustainability objectives.
