“Deconstruction Services Company, MN”

Birch Group does more than salvage, we reclaim with purpose. Our team deconstructs buildings to recover materials and reintegrates them into high-performance, design-forward construction, including adaptive reuse projects and handcrafted furniture. We ensure nothing sits idle in storage, everything is thoughtfully transformed and rehomed.

What sets us apart is our commitment to a true circular economy. While others may stop at resale, we close the loop by turning reclaimed materials into livable spaces and functional art, guided by our values of sustainability, craftsmanship, and lasting impact.

Our Services

Birch Group leads the industry as a deconstruction company and demolition contractor in Minneapolis, MN, specializing in material reclamation and sustainable construction. We transform salvaged materials into high-performance homes and purposeful designs. Our experienced carpenters and carpentry apprentices train the next generation for green careers.

We don’t just reclaim and resell; we reshape what’s possible for people and the planet.

Our Approach

Birch Group sees potential in everything — from old buildings to forgotten materials. Our approach is about making the most out of what’s already here, keeping resources out of landfills, and building greener, more sustainable homes.
Rethink
We challenge the traditional way of thinking about construction. Instead of tossing out old materials, we find new life for them, imagining how everything from wood beams to fixtures can be reused in creative ways. It’s about seeing value where others see waste.
Reclaim
We specialize in carefully salvaging high-quality materials from deconstructed buildings, everything from antique wood to reclaimed hardware. These materials are available to the public at affordable prices or repurposed into new, sustainable projects.
Reuse
We believe in zero waste. If materials don’t find new homes right away, we repurpose them into something useful, whether it's custom furniture, feature walls, or other creative building materials. It’s all part of our commitment to a true circular economy.

Deconstruction + Salvage

Birch Group specializes in the careful deconstruction of buildings to recover valuable materials for reuse. From glulam beams to hardwood flooring, we divert materials from landfills and reintegrate them into new homes, furniture, and high-impact architectural features, creating a closed-loop system that supports a true circular economy.

Sustainable Design + Reuse

Reclaimed materials are more than leftovers at Birch Group, they’re the foundation of innovation. We transform every salvage into sustainable homes, furniture, and timeless design elements, so they are not sitting in our warehouse collecting dust.

It’s the circular economy at work: purposeful, elegant, and endlessly regenerative.
