DECONSTRUCTING STRUCTURES CAN CREATE 20 TIMES MORE JOBS THAN THE DEMOLISHING THEM!  Some of these jobs come from producing reclaimed products like milling trim from beams or building furniture from salvaged lumber.  These 'VALUE-ADDED' jobs are growing with the deconstruction industry and can replace manufacturing jobs lost overseas.  This page is meant to encourage and boost value-added operations around the USA.
