Deconstruction: A Tax-Advantaged Alternative to Conventional Demolition
More than 125 tons of waste are generated when a house of 2,000 square feet is demolished. Contractors dump demolition waste in local landfills, making no effort to recover, reuse, or recycle useful materials. Their business model does not reward these activities.
Since 2004, Mills Builders has followed the emergence of an alternative to conventional demolition called deconstruction. Unlike ordinary demolition, deconstruction crews systematically disassemble buildings, recovering materials for recycling and reuse. Owners often realize healthy tax benefits when they donate recovered materials to organizations like Habitat for Humanity.
Deconstruction advances many fundamental principles of environmental sustainability we believe are critical to California’s future. For this reason, we now offer our clients a deconstruction alternative when their property is well suited to the process. Complete our Information Request Form for more details.
