Deconstruction is the methodical disassembly of your home’s components and structures to reuse or repurpose precious parts that can be recycled, such as windows, doors, wood frames, and fixtures.
At Downright Demolition, in addition to demolishing residential and commercial properties we value environmental responsibility and give a chance to the building structures and elements to be a part of a new beginning.
Our deconstruction services in Edmonton, Calgary & surrounding areas salvage reusable materials to minimize the landfill waste. This practice not only helps preserve the environment but also gives you the opportunity to rebuild or make small renovations using environmentally friendly solutions.
Selective Deconstruction
Selective deconstruction are suitable for those focused on the targeted removal of specific structures while preserving the originality of the rest of the building.
Whether you want to fix water or fire damage or address structural issues, our selective deconstruction service allows you to maintain a specific look in your home while helping you save time and money. It’s an environmentally friendly approach you can rely on if you’re planning a renovation or looking to upgrade a particular area of your building.
Full Deconstruction
Full deconstruction is a careful dismantling of the entire structure of your building with the goal of salvaging as many materials as possible for repurposing, donation, or reuse.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between selective and full deconstruction?
Selective deconstruction targets specific areas — ideal for repairing water or fire damage, addressing structural issues, or upgrading one part of a building while preserving the rest. Full deconstruction is the careful dismantling of an entire structure to salvage as many materials as possible for reuse, donation, or repurposing.
What materials can be salvaged through deconstruction?
Commonly windows, doors, wood framing, flooring, fixtures, and other structural and finish components in reusable condition. During your assessment, we identify what can realistically be recovered from your building.
How much does deconstruction cost?
Every project is different — cost depends on the size and condition of the structure, how much material can be salvaged, site access, and disposal. Salvaged materials can sometimes offset part of the cost. For an accurate quote, contact our customer care team for an assessment and written estimate. Call (780) 906-3366.
Do I need a permit for deconstruction in Edmonton or Calgary?
In most cases, yes. Deconstruction is subject to the same municipal requirements as demolition, so a permit from the City of Edmonton or City of Calgary is usually needed. We handle permit assistance as part of every project.
Do you handle residential and commercial deconstruction?
Yes. We provide selective and full deconstruction for both residential and commercial properties, tailoring the scope to your building and goals.
Can the salvaged materials be donated or reused?
Yes. Recovered materials can be reused in your own rebuild or renovation, donated, or resold, depending on their condition. This is one of the main advantages of choosing deconstruction over demolition.
Do you test for asbestos before deconstruction?
Yes. Buildings from before Canada's 2018 ban may contain asbestos, so we test and, if needed, complete certified abatement before dismantling begins, in compliance with Alberta OHS.
