Rethinking demolition: B.C. group promotes reuse and relocation

A new organization, the Building Relocation and Deconstruction Association of B.C. , promotes sustainable alternatives to demolishing homes in British Columbia.
Glyn Lewis, CEO of Renewal Development, highlighted that many homes being demolished are in excellent condition and that the association addresses wasteful demolition practices.
The BRDABC has developed a Municipal Action Plan to guide municipalities in adopting relocation and deconstruction policies, drawing inspiration from successful practices in Auckland, New Zealand.
The BRDABC seeks support from higher levels of government to address the anticipated rise in demolitions over the next decade due to upzoning policies.
