“Deconstruction” or “Dismantling”

I was watching the video footage on Mayor Jay Williams’ keynote address and he referred to a businessman in Youngstown who offers people in decrepit neighborhoods cash incentives to move out of their homes and move into fuller neighborhoods.  Mayor Williams said this guy has a business that takes apart steel mills (??deconstructs??).

After a little digging, I found these two links online:

Article in “Construction & Demolition Recycling”

Website for Allied Erecting & Dismantling

Are there other deconstruction companies that do big industrial jobs like steel mills?  I wonder if those guys are members of the BMRA.  They said in an interview, that they prefer the term “dismantling” to “demolition”.  Maybe they could be sold on the term “deconstruction”…
