From demolition to urban mining.
An on-site inventory of the value and demountability of materials, with a diagnosis and a recommendation for the best destination: reuse, resale or recycling.
A building that is about to come down contains materials that are worth something and others that will not survive removal. The inventory tells the two apart before the machines arrive, while everything is still in place and can be inspected.
Put a figure on your building's reuse value, before works begin.
A costed inventory of the existing building's value and demountability, made on site before demolition. Each lot is directed towards reuse, resale or recycling.

Request an auditThe inventory is carried out on site, before demolition, while the materials are still in place and can be inspected. Each lot is given a market value and a demountability rating, because a material that breaks on removal loses its value, whatever it may be on paper.
The visit records the materials in place, their condition and how they are fixed. A screwed or bolted assembly comes apart without damage, whereas a glued or mortared one breaks on removal. Differences of this kind decide whether a lot goes to reuse or to recycling, and how it has to be sorted during dismantling.
The audit tells you what is worth saving, what it is worth and which operator to send it to. Dismantling, storage and putting materials back on the market are the work of specialists such as Rotor DC, whose business is keeping these lots in circulation.
The inventory is made by sight and by hand, without opening up walls. When a fixing is hidden behind a facing, we flag it as such and the question stays open until removal. The values we give are order-of-magnitude market values, and a buyer will set their own price.
Deconstruction contractors and reclamation dealers take over from there, and the audit names them for you.
