More “sustainable demolition” options needed, says business owner.

A long-standing Richmond lawn bowling clubhouse from the 1960s was recently taken down to make room for a new building.

Rather than taking an excavator to the old clubhouse, the City of Richmond partnered with Burnaby-based Vema Deconstruction to dismantle the building piece by piece. Their goal was to donate and repurpose as much material as possible.
