DARK HORSE DECONSTRUCTION IN THE NEWS ♻️
What if a building scheduled for removal could offer more than just a cleared site?
Spectrum News 1 recently visited one of our Wisconsin projects to take a closer look at how deconstruction gives usable building materials a second life.
Instead of breaking everything down at once, our crews carefully dismantle buildings piece by piece, salvaging materials such as doors, windows, cabinets, countertops, appliances and fixtures for reuse. Materials that can’t be reused may be recycled instead of automatically becoming landfill waste.
According to our Director of Operations, Cole Alsbach, Dark Horse typically recovers 85–95% of building materials from the projects we deconstruct.
We’re proud to see more attention being given to the value that already exists inside our buildings — and to the people and processes working to keep those materials in circulation.
The building may come down.
The materials don’t have to.
Thanks to and reporter Nathan Phelps for taking the time to share our work.
