Brukspecialisten’s mission is to preserve & renovate existing brick and plaster façades and ensure that they remain beautiful for as long as possible. Why? Because they firmly believe that that most climate-smart building has already been built. When it is not possible to preserve and renovate, Brukspecialisten reuses materials to build on, or to build new. All projects must, they believe, be designed and put together so that maintenance is minimized, service life is maximized, and future reuse with easy disassembly is secured already on the drawing board.

 

“The climate and the environment play crucial roles in the transition to a circular economy. It is clear to us at Brukspecialisten that international legislation is necessary to safeguard these vital elements”, says Jacob Steen, CEO of Brukspecialisten.

“We are delighted to welcome Brukspecialisten. They represent new ways of doing business and working with buildings, showing that new ways of thinking can take us a long way”, says Monica Schüldt, co-founder of Ecocide Law Alliance .
