Building a new home is an exciting new chapter in anyone’s life, but there are more options available than just constructing a house on an open lot. If the thought of moving into an established and beautiful neighborhood is more your style, a demolition company can help. Tearing down an existing structure can be the first step toward the home of your dreams.

What Is Deconstruction?

The prospect of tearing down a home may seem intimidating, but it can be more cost-effective than building from scratch. Keep in mind that an existing house doesn’t need to be destroyed by your demolition company. In many cases, sections and materials can be salvaged, either for recycling or to use in your new home. This step can be accomplished through a method called “deconstruction.”

How Does It Work?

While demolition involves tearing a home down with machinery, such as an excavator, deconstruction is a more nuanced process. For deconstruction, a demolition company removes sections of the structure by hand. As a result, a large amount of material and parts can be saved for future use, such as doors, copper pipes, and windows.

More than smaller elements of the existing home, sections of walls or entire foundations can sometimes be maintained during the demolition to be used again for your new house, saving you time and money. If you’re moving into a historical neighborhood or if the existing home has historical value, you can also obtain tax credits by preserving certain parts to keep the spirit of the area alive.
