by Bob Falk;  Brad Guy

www.taunton.com/searchTaunton/searchStoreResults.aspx?searchfor=unbuilding

In this practical, step-by-step guide to deconstruction, Falk and Guy explore one of the options available at the end of a building’s useful life. They cover the basics of deconstruction, from how to estimate the yield of useful material in an old building to how to organize a deconstruction site. Lots of photographs provide step-by-step guidance. The authors also present profiles of “unbuilders”—from life-long deconstruction experts to the owners of salvaged-building-supply stores.
