Deconstruction Spotlight: Certified Contractor Training

In October and November 2022, the Office of Historic Preservation hosted Certified Deconstruction Contractor Training in southwest Bexar County in partnership with the San Antonio River Authority. The training included several cohorts aimed at teaching both existing contractors and individuals with non-construction backgrounds techniques for hands-on deconstruction of wood-framed, pre-1930s residential structures.

Our deconstruction trainer was Re:Purpose Savannah, a women+ led 501(c)3 nonprofit that deconstructs historic buildings at the end of their lifecycle, systematically taking structures apart by hand to preserve as much material as possible. Their approach to deconstruction is unique, combining environmental and sustainability goals with heritage conservation and inclusivity. For nearly three weeks, the Re:Purpose Savannah team shared their invaluable time, brilliance, wisdom, experience, and passion with nearly 40 contractors and an an advanced architecture studio from UTSA.
