Our Mission
We are dedicated to reinvesting the inherent value of Horry County’s historic used building materials back into the well-being of our local communities; to the preservation of the built environment's architectural and lived histories; and to the revival of trade crafts that build healthier relationships between people, places, and the planet.

How We Can Make a Difference
DeconstructionDeconstruction focuses on diverting used, often historic, building materials away from our landfills and back into our communities. In the process, deconstruction creates stable entry-level jobs, fosters community connections, and supports more sustainable construction practices.
|
Virtual Reality ReconstructionThe process includes the use of drones and 360° 3D rendering to revive historic structures and cultural heritage through virtual reconstruction. Lost structures can be visualized as they once existed, thanks to the integration of archaeological methods and virtual reality technology.
|
Historical DocumentationWhen homes and businesses are lost to demolition, so is the chance to record their histories. Alternatively, deconstruction provides the opportunity to research, document, and preserve the stories that connect people and communities.
