Strategy description: Exchanging extra or surplus building products with other second-hand or new products
Example: Repairing structural, construction, services, and other old building components systems, such as old wall panels, doors, and storing cabinets.
Advantages: Repairing existing systems is a means to prolong the longevity of the physical assets, thereby reducing the need for material resources. It might be cost-effective for expensive systems – such as radiators.
Disadvantages/challenges: Repair of old building systems might be expensive and infeasible for deteriorated assets; therefore, a condition assessment of these assets needs to be conducted.
