Value management (VM) is not necessarily a key component of project management in most demolition projects unless the demolition precedes a new construction project. On the other hand it has already been argued and most recently (Oudjehane 2014) that VM has the potential to deliver sustainable projects. This paper aims to integrate some environmental perspectives with value management principles in the scoping and planning of deconstruction and demolition activities. Using a case study of a 10-story pre-cast concrete building planned for demolition, a value analysis for the reusability of the building components and materials is conducted: two alternatives of deconstruction processes are evaluated; the various impacts on project management such as cost, or environmental factors are measured and compared.
