*This seminar sold out at BUILDEX - Vancouver 2024*

This seminar delves into the changing landscape of residential construction, spotlighting sustainable practices and alternatives to conventional demolition methods. Emphasizing the Zero Waste Hierarchy, it examines strategies to minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency in the built environment. Central to the discussion is deconstruction management, exploring municipal policies, costs and benefits, and the process of systematically dismantling homes and salvaging materials for reuse or recycling, aligning with circular economy principles.

Another pivotal aspect of the seminar is the discussion on carbon emissions and how aligning strategies with circular economy principles can positively impact the environment and reduce the industry's carbon footprint.

Speakers will share insights and innovative approaches to foster sustainable construction, aligning economic viability with environmental responsibility. The seminar aims to inspire a paradigm shift towards a more sustainable, waste-conscious residential construction industry.
