Abstract:

The objective of this article is to develop a set of guidelines that allow to improve the planning of the demolition activities and to promote more sustainable practices in the construction site. The empirical research was carried out by the application of three case studies, developing a diagnosis of the operation of the activities of the companies practicing the selective demolition in small buildings, through interviews, monitoring the demolitions and the resale of the materials. Thus, it was possible to verify the existence of markets for recycled materials and components that promote local development.
