Dave Bennink is dedicated to training others to 'Build UP an industry that takes 'DOWN' buildings. The Building Deconstruction Institute (BDI) is our training arm/program, and we have now provided training/instruction in 44 states, 4 provinces, 1 territory, and 9 different countries.

Based in Washington State, the award winning BDI provides customized training based on the needs and conditions found in each location we train at. We add Bennink's 75000+ hours of experience in this field to any written curriculum, as well as the knowledge from running a full-service reuse business, and having helped over 150 other reuse businesses (who have 150 different business plans). We use the Build Reuse 300+ page manual that we helped write and edit in several of our trainings. Here are just some of the trainings we offer:

Introduction to Deconstruction - (2-8 hours)

Deconstruction worker/business training (7-12 days)

Remanufacturing training (customized length)

Deconstruction and Reuse Project Management (24 hours)

Reuse operation trainings (customized length)

Reuse Innovation Center Training w/ Repair clinic (customized length)

Advanced Building Deconstruction (panelization, hybrid, building kits, cutting edge techniques) (customized length)

Master trainer Dave Bennink has been consulting/training/deconstructing buildings for 29 years. Building types include: residential, commercial, institutional, agricultural, medical, high-rise, warehouse, retail, sports stadiums, and more. It is estimated that he has worked or consulted on over 12,500 structures including large projects in Cedar Rapids, Iowa (1200+ structures), Indianapolis, Indiana (2000+ structures), US Virgin Islands (storm damaged) (580 structures), Military housing (500+ structures), Port of Tacoma Industrial Park (50+ structures) and many more. Individual projects include the Pentagon, The Kingdome, The Space Needle, Stephen King movie sets, The Michael Reece Hospital campus, Microsoft Campus projects, Google Campus projects, Snoqualmie Falls Hydro Electric Dam, High Point Public Housing Development, and many more. Clients include the Chemehuevi Tribe, Cook County, City of Chicago, City of Seattle, King County, WA, Ports of Seattle, Tacoma, Longview, Seattle Housing Authority, Baltimore City, City of Portland, Oregon DEQ, METRO, OR, CERL, US Army Core of Engineers, Employ Indy, City of Milwaukee, City of Vancouver, BC, GVRD, BC, and many more. He also fully deconstructed a 3000 square foot home in 15 hours on the TV show Extreme Home Makeover.

Bennink is more likely to be found working in an inner-city neighborhood creating jobs and helping the community than in some high-end home. He is known for pushing the industry forward in places like Lake Oswego, OR, Austin, TX, Minneapolis, MN, Vancouver, BC, Portland, OR, Boulder, CO, and Milwaukee, WI where there are efforts to make building deconstruction a mainstream choice for building removal. He is responsible for training and certifying all of the certified deconstruction contractors and many of the workers in the Portland, OR area, helping form and support the Nation's first deconstruction ordinance there. Finally, Bennink has a no-worker left behind policy and sees everyone as part of the solution for saving our collective future together, and therefore continues to tackle all types of buildings to make sure that any trainees are ready to take advantage of opportunities in their own communities.

Structural deconstruction (full building): 2,400 jobs and over 42,000 hours

Non-structural demolition (partial or interior): 1,800 jobs and over 22,000 hours

Salvage (removal of specific fixtures/finishes): 1,200 jobs and over 10,000 hours

Dave Bennink has helped over 60 independent businesses to get started in the reuse field as well as helping over 150 reuse operations through training/consulting. He has also worked extensively in workforce development efforts. Examples include trainings focused on: immigrant workers, previously incarcerated individuals, currently incarcerated individuals, homeless veterans, inner-city youth, and other unemployed groups. He trains both non-profit and for-profit organizations and approximately 67% of the workforce and business owners are people of color or disadvantaged individuals. Bennink is moving the industry forward by developing advanced 'hybrid' deconstruction techniques and business strategies to remove barriers to deconstruction and reuse.

He has exclusive trainings in advanced deconstruction that are likely the most important available, and include building panelization, hybrid-deconstruction, building kits, landscaping/plant reuse, natural disaster recovery efforts, and more.

Part of one's training experience is where they have been asked to speak at, and Director Bennink has been asked to speak at several events throughout Europe, and several of the largest conferences in the United States including Greenbuild, Living Future, Getting to Zero, the National Recycling Congress, and National Home Builders events. He has spoken at Carnigie Melon, Syracuse University, University of Washington, Cornell, and many other institutions and other events. Other types of training he has provided involved jobsite safety OSHA 10, forklift training, marketing, retail sales, business operations, remanufacturing, and repair.

Training people in structural deconstruction (full building): 1,250 jobs and 25,000 hours

Training people in non-structural demolition (eg. partial or interior): 250 jobs and 3,600 hours

Training people in salvage(removal of specific fixtures/finishes): 1,000 jobs and 8,500 hours

We are very proud of the businesses that Bennink has trained that are now some of the industry's best operations. Some of the value of our trainings comes from actual experience doing the work. Our training center is based in the first full service 'Reuse Innovation Center' where buildings are deconstructed, materials processed, transported, and warehoused. The Center also includes remanufacturing, repair, and resale of materials so it is the perfect place to learn about the reuse industry, or we will come to you. Director Dave Bennink helped run 2 full-service non-profit reuse operations with 50 employees for about 11.5 years, and then a for-profit company for the last 17.5 so he provides training on both. Industries represented in our trainings: construction, logistics, warehousing, marketing, re-manufacturing, art, retail, management Examples of deconstruction skills: Building assessment, bidding, contracts, scheduling, safety, environmental hazards, tools, equipment, salvage, strip-out, structural removal, materials management, job close-out, time studies, cost tracking, advanced cutting-edge techniques Examples of business skills: marketing materials, store organization/set-up, funding, customer service, online sales, reuse cooperatives, running a Reuse Innovation Center, remanufacturing business plans, repair business plans, reuse business plans, and so much more!! We have developed over 20 presentations with multiple hand-outs as well as helping write and edit the nationally recognized 300+ page Build Reuse training curriculum.

A sustainable society or state of being cannot be reached by any individual effort, and therefore must include everyone. The Building Deconstruction Institute and master trainer Dave Bennink understand that sustainability goes hand in hand with diversity and equity. We therefore seek out all citizens in our efforts to achieve this sustainable society, and so that all may share in it. This is highlighted by our training practices and history, and by the work that we have performed. We do not hide in upscale neighborhoods serving only those who can afford it and training others to do the same, but we instead serve the poor or disadvantaged, going to their neighborhoods and working with them to create jobs and affordable building materials to help them maintain their homes. Approximately 67% of our training has been for people of color, women-owned businesses, women of color owned businesses, or other disadvantaged groups or workers.

Re:Purpose Savannah is a woman-led and operated 501(c)(3) non-profit community-based organization. Our mission is threefold—to reduce environmental and public health hazards, to preserve the inherent value in historic structures, and to elevate women in the field of deconstruction/construction.

We offer specialized training in deconstruction of historic buildings. Our training packages range in scope from a focus on technical deconstruction to project management, new business start-up, and creating circular economies around reused building materials.

All of our deconstruction experience is in historic houses built between 1870 and 1950. In addition to full or partial structural removal, we operate a reclaimed lumber yard, where we process the lumber from our own projects as well as countless donations from the local community.

Structural deconstruction (full building): 7 jobs and over 1000 hours

Non-structural demolition (partial or interior): 7 and over 500 hours

Salvage(removal of specific fixtures/finishes): many

The first three houses I took apart were training for myself. After that I have trained every volunteer and employee that has worked with our company.

Training people in structural deconstruction (full building): 4 jobs and over 500 hours

Training people in non-structural demolition (partial or interior): 7 jobs and over 500 hours

Training people in salvage(removal of specific fixtures/finishes): many

Prior to working with Re:Purpose Savannah I was a small business marketing consultant that specialized in creative start-ups. That experience with strategy and launching, combined with years of experience building the Re:Purpose service offering, retail hub, and regional market has provided me with many insights into the challenge of growing the deconstruction industry.

NCC is an educational nonprofit organization based in Colorado. We provide full-service deconstruction training and project execution through our DeConstruct (TM) Training Program. Training can be as little as a few days and as extensive as a full-time, multi-week project where trainees learn the entire deconstruction process from project acquisition and negotiation, planning and estimating, general health and safety, execution, materials management, supervision and project management, and legal and regulatory environment.

Our curriculum involves structured, hands-on, learn-as-you-work activities developed by NCC and their affiliates.

Structural deconstruction (full building): 40+ jobs and over 7500 hours

Non-structural demolition (partial or interior): 15 jobs and over 1000 hours

Salvage (removal of specific fixtures/finishes): 12 jobs and over 400 hours.

I have been personally involved with training more than 1500 students while executing more than 50 residential and commercial building deconstruction projects. Students ranged in age from 14 - 60, included high school, post-secondary, adult, adjudicated , disadvantaged, minority and women trainees. Training activity durations included three-day to six-week, on-the-job, roof-ridge to foundation deconstruction projects, with some trainees performing on multiple projects. Training outcomes spanned the few-day experiential to multi-project deconstruction supervisor and project manager. Additionally, I have five years teaching experience at the collegiate undergraduate level and hold an advanced degree in education with a human resource development emphasis.

As a professional constructor, estimator, and consultant, as well as an instructor at Colorado State University - Department of Construction Management, I have trained hundred of people in estimating, bidding, job cost tracking, and project management.

Formerly-incarcerated personnel from the Illinois Department of Corrections

Community college enrollees in adult education

"An Introductionto Deconstruction," our copyrighted training program has been endorsed by a public agency, community college, community corrections department, and Community Action and Youth Build organizations.

TRP also trains contractors, including those new to the business and existing contractors looking to expand their target markets. More than 50 contractors have been trained, representing demolition, custom-home building, framing, and debris hauling. These contractors have in turn hired more workers to support their deconstruction activities.

The 100-page 4-color student manual and coordinating instructor guide were designed and written by an experienced trainer and instructional designer who has authored or coauthored more than 30 activity books for K-12 education and over a dozen training programs for industry and education.

Our lead instructor, Ted Reiff, holds a lifetime instructor's certificate from the California Community College System.

Business degree from the Ohio State University plus on-the-job engineering work. I was a middle or senior manager in six different industries and Managing Partner in two investment banking firms (US & Mexico).

These designations are important because the laws of both countries require TRP to serve the entire population without regard to race, ethnicity, religion, age, origin, or sexual orientation. The hundreds of workers we have trained represent a broad spectrum of backgrounds falling into each of the above categories. As a practical matter we are unaware of, and do not track race, ethnic, religion, or gender data on our trainees.

Our mission is: "To reudce the solid waste stream and change the way the built environment is renewed by salvaging building materials and distributing them for reuse." Among the benefits to communities are:

A cleaner environment

Trained workers for better jobs

Improved living conditions

Less energy consumption

Thousands of tons of reusable materials madeavailableto thepublic at thriftstore prices
