Design for disassembly is a practice to benefit and simplify the deconstruction processes and procedures through forward planning and design. It also changes the traditional waste management process and conserves raw materials.  Design the building to facilitate future disassembly of components for reuse to extend the life of materials and conserve natural resources. Building elements and components—including structure, finishing materials, and equipment -- should have the ability to be easily separated and disassembled. Elements that qualify for consideration for disassembly exclude consumables, elements indicating significant signs of wear and tear and electro-mechanical components and systems.
