Tax Deductions:
A major benefit of Deconstruction over demolition is the tax ramifications. Generally speaking, due to the value of the donations from the decon, the actual cost of the job can be offset by as much as 100%. Habitat does not put a value on these donations, but can refer clients to organizations that will, or they pursue their own source of value.
Reusable Material:
Another major benefit over demolition is the amount of building material that is saved from going to the landfill. Up to 85% of the material can be salvaged for resale, reuse, or recycling, which greatly reduces the amount of trash taken to the landfill.
Helping fund your local Habitat for Humanity:
One of the most beneficial reasons to choose Decon over demolition is the fact that all of the proceeds from the Deconstruction go to support Habitat for Humanity of Durham and Orange Counties.
