Swiss Inv

Tools

The Swiss-Inv inventory identifies and inventories the potential for reusing construction materials in building renovation or replacement projects on a national scale. This harmonization of the data structure is intended to improve communication between the various existing platforms, while standardizing the implementation of material reuse.

The manual presents the method for inventorying materials for re-use prior to renovation or demolition, as well as the Swiss-Inv data structure and explains how to use it.

The manual begins by detailing the fundamental principles and methods underlying the inventory structure and its use. It then presents the Swiss-Inv data structure, explaining the categories used.

Swiss-Inv is aimed at players involved in the renovation, demolition or replacement of buildings, particularly in connection with their investment or project optimization decisions. These players include building owners and their representatives (e.g. project managers or owners), investors, designers, consultants, general contractors and demolition companies.
