PRE-DEMOLITION AUDITS

A Pre-Demolition, Pre-Deconstruction, or Pre-Refurbishment Audit is a fundamental step in embedding circular economy principles into construction projects. These audits provide the essential data needed to inform strategic material management—ensuring maximum reuse, recovery, and carbon reduction from the outset.
