Circular Construction and Building Material Reuse
This in-depth course develops directly applicable capability in Circular Construction and Building Material Reuse. It connects Material Flows and Circular Design, Pre-Demolition and Site Assessment, and Reuse, Recycling, and Procurement to the decisions, controls, and activities participants need to perform in their workplace.
Overview
Practical learning for workplace transfer.
This in-depth course develops directly applicable capability in Circular Construction and Building Material Reuse. It connects Material Flows and Circular Design, Pre-Demolition and Site Assessment, and Reuse, Recycling, and Procurement to the decisions, controls, and activities participants need to perform in their workplace. The five-module curriculum progresses toward Circular Construction Case, using evidence, scenarios, and work products appropriate to the subject.
Prerequisites
Relevant workplace familiarity is recommended; exact technical prerequisites can be adapted to the participant group.
Objectives
- Analyze material flows and circular design, including design for adaptability, disassembly, durability, and lower material intensity.
- Configure or structure pre-demolition and site assessment, including survey structures, hazardous materials, condition, dimensions, and recovery potential.
- Evaluate reuse, recycling, and procurement, including on-site reuse, salvage markets, remanufacture, and high-value recycling.
- Manage measurement and project controls, including mass balance, diversion, embodied carbon, cost, and recovery value.
- Apply circular construction case, including prepare a material recovery plan.
Target audience
- Professionals responsible for this subject area
- Managers, supervisors, and team leaders
- Analysts, specialists, engineers, or coordinators working with the relevant processes
- Project, implementation, assurance, or improvement team members
- Professionals preparing for broader responsibilities in this field
