The Deconstruction & Building Materials ReUse Network, Inc., an environmental non-profit corporation, (Deconstruction Network) is changing the way Californians approach home building by creating simple solutions for home deconstruction. Deconstruction Network supports the green building movement by advancing the general environmental principal of "reduce, reuse and recycle" within the construction and demolition (C&D) industries. Our goal is to educate and empower homeowners, building industry professionals and civic leaders to adopt the practice of deconstruction as a rational alternative to traditional demolition, thereby keeping C&D materials out of landfills, while simultaneously growing a robust network of individuals and organizations committed to the reclamation and distribution of reusable building materials.
