The presented BIM-SD tool is a software tool supporting the user in the pre-demolition audit and C&DW assessment. Its main objective is to support the collection and management of information on the existing elements and materials in a building to be demolished, the decision making around the optimal demolition sequence and the management of the subsequent waste streams. Maximizing the recovery rate from buildings will be fostered thanks to the visibility of the present materials in the pre-demolition stage. More in detail, the BIM-SD tool will ease calculations of inventory experts and/or demolition experts, which nowadays are principally done by hand (or supported by basic tools such as calculation sheets), potentially improving reliability of calculation, facilitating the traceability of materials and quickening the evaluation of alternative demolition/recovery options. It is expected that the tool can assist both demolition contractors for improving the production of the waste audits which they already perform; and also building owners (and the team commissioned for the design of the corresponding demolition works) in producing reliable waste audits together with projects. Moreover, distribution of the original BIM-model or of the inventoried BIM-model from the building owner to e.g. demolition contractors participating in a tender could happen.
