When looking for ways to reuse materials and reduce waste in your construction project, some steps you can take include: 
-Exploring alternative materials that may be recycled or reused. 
-Encouraging your team to use waste reduction practices while on the job such as properly sorting materials and minimizing packaging. 
-Maximizing durability and utilitarian value of reusable construction elements like roofs or walls so they can be repurposed during demolition as an alternative to replacement.  
-Identifying prefabricated components that can eliminate fabrication time and the need for custom parts. 
Finally, consider strategically locating any salvaged items around your work site; this ensures they're easily accessible for reuse throughout the project

Some of the easiest and most cost effective ways to reuse materials in construction are by donating or selling reusable items from the project, reusing building waste material as soil or concrete mix, using offsite materials for landscaping or site furnishings, and salvaging usable lumber, brick or stone for future projects. Additionally, creating templates out of plywood cut-outs allows builders to use dimensional lumber more efficiently.
