In this episode, we’re joined by Dylan Bull and Alex Hawthorne from Levela Deconstruction—two founders challenging the status quo of demolition in New Zealand. Instead of sending building waste straight to landfill, they’ve built a business focused on carefully dismantling structures to salvage and reuse materials. From timber and steel to joinery and fixtures, they’re proving that deconstruction is not only better for the planet, it’s commercially viable and creates more jobs on site.We dig into how Levela works with clients like the Ministry of Education, how their approach compares in cost and time to traditional demolition, and why smarter waste separation is catching on across the industry. If you’re ready to think differently about waste, this episode is packed with real-world insight, practical ideas, and a glimpse at what construction could look like with sustainability built in.Featured Guest: Levela Deconstruction Website: https://leveladeconstruction.co.nz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/levela_deconstruction LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/levela-deconstruction-ltd/Where else you can find usWebsite: https://www.masterbuilder.org.nz/Elevate Platform: http://elevate.masterbuilder.org.nzInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/masterbuildernz/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/registeredmasterbuildersYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmh_9vl0pFf0zSB6N7RrVeg
