Deconstruction is preservation.
Every day historic buildings across America are lost to demolition. Most people believe the landfill is the only fate available to buildings that can't be saved in place. But what if there is another way? What if a reimagined historic practice could save them from the landfill, benefit communities, and help fight climate change? We must adopt deconstruction and salvage as a historic preservation best-practices methodology when facing structural loss.
Hi, I’m Mae.

Structural Removal & Materials Management
Disaster Resilience & Planned Retreat
Workforce Development - Decon & Salvage Training
Business Development - Circular Economy
Let’s discuss.
Interested in working together? Fill out some info and I will be in touch shortly. Thank you for your interest in deconstruction and reuse!
