• Develop and deliver pre-demolition pre-deconstruction/demolition audits to actively identify steel structures which could be reused or recycled;
• Upon the completion of the audits clearly communicate a robust plan that maps out which steel structures can be effectively removed to maximise the potential for steel reuse and recycling;
• Provide technically competent structural engineering advice in relation to reusable steel sections to assist with buying and selling such sections;
• Review existing building designs and identify where reusable steel sections could be utilised;
