This event explores current standards for pre-demolition audits and scope for harmonisation across Europe and is part of ASBP’s Reuse Now Campaign.
There are a growing number of tools and processes aiming to make construction more ‘circular’. With our Reuse Now campaign, we recently hosted webinars on Materials Reuse Digital Platforms and Materials Passports. Its becoming clear that whilst some progress is being made, there are issues and challenges that need to be addressed, including storage and logistics.
Pre-demolition audits are another growing area of opportunity and that can have a pivotal role in enabling materials reuse. These audits provide crucial insights into the materials and components emerging from building deconstruction, paving the way for sustainable end-of-life scenarios such as reuse, repurposing, and upcycling.
Join us for a session with industry experts exploring the significance of pre-demolition (and pre-refurbishment) audits. From the regulatory landscape to innovative design guidance, we’ll navigate the policies and methodologies driving this transformative practice. Drawing from best practices and compelling case studies, we’ll discover the tangible benefits reaped from successful audits. It’s time to unlock the full potential of our existing building stock and propel the circular economy forward!
