Abstract
The construction industry is one of the main resource consumers and waste generators, which has several environmental, social and economic impacts. Deconstruction of buildings is the careful dismantling of a building so as to make possible the recovery of construction materials and components, promoting reuse and recycling. This idea was emerged as an alternative to demolition in consequence of increasing environmental concerns and rapid increase in the number of demolished buildings. The aim of this study is to investigate the benefits and the main determinants of deconstruction according to current construction practice in Iran, based on analyzing a typical residential building in Tehran. It then gives some practical suggestions for promoting current and future demolition industry in Iran.
