Material-first prospecting

Which demolition permits can become salvage leads?

Brick + masonry

Masonry residences and commercial structures

Named masonry raises the possibility of reusable brick or stone, subject to mortar, condition, access, and recovery cost.

Timber + framing

Frame, heavy timber, and multi-story structures

Structure descriptions can flag dimensional lumber, beams, stairs, or millwork worth verifying.

Fixtures + finishes

Institutional and commercial interiors

Churches, schools, theaters, restaurants, and retail scopes may contain specialty fixtures or finish packages.

Residential sets

Multi-unit homes and detached structures

Repeated doors, trim, cabinets, radiators, flooring, and garage stock can improve mobilization economics.
