Why Decon, not Demo?
Construction and demolition debris accounts for nearly 40% of the total solid waste thrown away in South Carolina. Deconstruction provides a ready solution to the unnecessary waste of valuable and reusable building material. Deconstruction is the careful disassembly of structures, an alternative to traditional demolition. Our process diverts used, often historic, building materials away from landfills, creates stable entry-level jobs, and supports more sustainable construction practices.
When homes and businesses are lost to demolition, so is the chance to record their histories. Alternatively, our services provide the opportunity to research, document, and preserve the stories that connect people and communities. Our process also uses LiDAR technology to render 3D images of the structure as a companion to the architectural and lived histories recorded on our website.

Featured Projects
For full or partial deconstruction, know your options.
Whether you’re replacing windows or flooring or taking down entire structures, we provide affordable deconstruction services that save reusable materials from the landfill. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we'll also show you how to take advantage of tax incentives for donating the salvaged materials. Historic building materials are highly valuable...and deductible! Before you demo, contact us to discuss your options.
For salvaged materials, follow our progress on socials!
