This study examines the deconstruction lifecycle within the construction industry, focusing on the systematic process of disassembling buildings and structures to maximize material reuse, recycling, and sustainability. With increasing global concerns regarding waste generation, carbon emissions, and resource depletion, deconstruction represents a critical component in promoting circular economy principles. This research identifies and analyses potential risk factors inherent in deconstruction processes and develops a comprehensive management framework for implementation. This framework provides a theoretical foundation for both deconstruction and the existing construction process. Through systematic analysis, the study reveals that structural integrity concerns, salvage value uncertainties, timeline variability, and technical complexities represent significant risk factors. Furthermore, this investigation highlights practical challenges in implementing deconstruction techniques in real-world scenarios. The resulting framework provides a holistic approach to managing deconstruction processes, offering valuable insights for industry practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to advance sustainable construction practices.

摘要

This study examines the deconstruction lifecycle within the construction industry, focusing on the systematic process of disassembling buildings and structures to maximize material reuse, recycling, and sustainability. With increasing global concerns regarding waste generation, carbon emissions, and resource depletion, deconstruction represents a critical component in promoting circular economy principles. This research identifies and analyses potential risk factors inherent in deconstruction processes and develops a comprehensive management framework for implementation. This framework provides a theoretical foundation for both deconstruction and the existing construction process. Through systematic analysis, the study reveals that structural integrity concerns, salvage value uncertainties, timeline variability, and technical complexities represent significant risk factors. Furthermore, this investigation highlights practical challenges in implementing deconstruction techniques in real-world scenarios. The resulting framework provides a holistic approach to managing deconstruction processes, offering valuable insights for industry practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to advance sustainable construction practices.
