Like this survey response, conversations come back to the challenge of introducing circular principles into the Irish economy. We consider this a last resort, even so this is considered by some to require a radial rethink of waste generation in the Irish construction industry.

It's easy to draw a hatch to denote demolition, it takes a few seconds! The hatch translates into reality via clearing, grubbing, stripping or removing existing built fabric. Our focus is on the decision making before demolition is hatched on a drawing. We want to hear from you.

We will listen to different perspectives through an open dialogue on the topic of demolition throughout the construction industry. We want to understand why existing buildings are often demolished instead of being adapted for reuse. Please reach out & talk to us!

Who knows the extent of wasted resources from the demolition of existing buildings in Ireland? Who cares enough to reuse existing buildings and materials?
