The following case studies completed by REBRI and BRANZ show the principals of resource efficiency being applied to various building projects. At the heart of many of the examples is 'good housekeeping' - that is the careful handling and storage of materials while maintaining a clean and tidy site.

The examples are:

• Domestic construction: Maddren Homes
  
• Commercial extension: Auckland Hospital
  
• Commercial construction: Te Puni St Warehouse
  
• Commercial refurbishment: Sheraton Hotel
  
• Demolition: Blows Building
  
• Domestic Deconstruction: Ridings Rd House
  
• Commercial Deconstruction: Bridge Climb Building
