Reuse
Disassembly plans
Make a disassembly plan. Apart from constructing with reversible connections, better guidance for the future disassembly stakeholders is developed to ensure a fast and correct disassembly of the building.
When to take action?
Who can take action?
Architectural designers and engineers
Advanced expertise needed
Take action
-
From the scenario planning exercise, evaluate which building components will be demounted.
-
Figure out which building components should be demounted first and which ones last, to generate the optimised disassembly plan for retrieving single or multiple components from a given building’s assembly.
-
Create graphical and textual disassembly plans.
-
Indicate if some precision or caution is needed when demounting certain components (to avoid destruction).
Input
-
Architectural and technical plans
-
Plausible future scenarios (Action: Scenario planning)
-
Data on the materials and the building components (technical life cycle, performance, properties, etc.)
Outcome
Ensuring a fast and correct disassembly of the building. Avoidance of demolition waste by reusing building components. The closing of material loops.
