If you are in the demolition, deconstruction or architectural salvage business; a construction and demolition debris recycler; used building materials retailer; architect; green builder; or anyone else interested in materials reuse and recycling, this conference is for you!

The conference will feature talks and discussion on deconstruction, building materials reuse,  and construction and demolition debris recycling - reflecting the full spectrum of building materials conservation from construction, renovation and demolition debris management. Incorporation of reused and recycled materials into new and renovation construction will also be discussed as well as many other topics.

The past several years have shown tremendous growth and interest in deconstruction and the reuse and recycling of building materials. The BMRA is dedicated to transforming the way we build, renovate, and demolish structures for a resource-conserving future.
