The purpose of this article is to study practices that maximize the future reuse of new materials and components. In particular, it attempts to demonstrate how BIM and its complementarity with material passports maintained throughout the life cycle of a building can encourage and facilitate the reuse of materials and equipment. The integration of BIM tools and material passports would make it possible to study the technical feasibility and economic profitability of different scenarios for selective deconstruction and reuse on or off site in order to facilitate the pre- demolition audit.
