Deconstruction Vs. Demolition

Things are happening on site at DUO Townhomes in Parksville, BC. The existing houses are coming down, tree falling is complete, and excavation has started for Building 01. We’ve taken a slightly different approach to removing the existing houses and opted for deconstruction versus the more conventional approach of machine-based demolition. This type of salvage is common when the wood has high value due to its age, species, dimensions, character, etc. but is far less common when the wood is conventional dimensional lumber.
