AB  - The construction industry, in contrast to the manufacturing industries, is characterized by an unstable and complex project planning environment. Moreover, construction still is an unsustainable industry, especially focusing on economic and ecological aspects of sustainability. From the economic perspective it was revealed that construction projects are often delayed and over budget, i. e. they suffer poor performance. Poor performance can be traced back to project planning procedures. Main causes for project failures are thereby insufficient scheduling with respect to resource allocation to project activities and the non-availability of material on-site at the time required. Methods applicable to tackle these deficiencies can be found in sophisticated project planning procedures taking resource limitations and the classification of project resources into account and in supply chain management (SCM) known from the manufacturing industries to increase material availability on site. Thereby, these methods had to be adapted to the particularities of the construction industry. With respect to the ecological dimension of sustainability, the construction industry can be regarded as major polluter to the environment due to its high construction and demolition waste accumulation and its high energy intensity. Numerous regulations and guidelines on the handling of construction and demolition (C&D) waste exist, and research has already been undertaken. Regulations mainly refer to the treatment of C&D waste. Research already undertaken addresses the development of methods for the recovery of C&D waste, especially from underground engineering, and architectural and design specifications, for instance, the use of environmentally sound materials, design for deconstruction, the use of renewable energies, and the design of passive houses. Lacks of knowledge exist especially when it comes to the organization of deconstruction projects as well as to the organization of related logistic activities, necessary to establish closed-loop material flows. For the ecologically end-of-life management of construction outputs, models for project planning introduced can be adapted to the particularities of deconstruction projects taking different recovery options in dependency on the deconstruction technique into account. For the organization of the logistic processes from the deconstruction site back to recovery facilities, formal descriptions taken from operations management help to structure and describe the related planning problems in detail.
