In partnership with the HBA and Re-Use Consulting, Earth Advantage was awarded a grant from Metro to provide targeted development assistance - free of charge - to deconstruction firms in the region. Interesed contractors will receive in-depth consultation and training from a certified deconstruction master trainer, who will work with each firm on one or more whole-building deconstruction projects from start to finish, and will assist in identifying a project site. In addition to providing comprehensive process improvement training and building valuable experience, training interactions will focus on specific areas of needed development, including estimating and competitive bidding, efficient project management, profitability, and marketing. Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity and Portland Prime Contractor Development Program firms will be given preference. The program will run through January 2020.
