Waste from the construction sector poses huge challenges for sustainable waste management. This is not only due to the vast amount of waste produced in construction and demolition activities, but also due to pollutants potentially contained in these products. Subject to these conditions, waste management must ensure recovery of as many resources as possible, while making sure to keep material loops clean. This demanding task requires more knowledge about the existing building stock and an adaptation of current demolition processes. Innovative technologies, such as Building Information Modelling, or modern frameworks, such as Geographic Information Systems, offer a high potential to synoptically provide stock material information for future demolition activities for individual objects to be deconstructed as well as for whole cities as a basis for managing the anthropogenic stock and potential urban mining. Suitable methods of data collection allow for acquiring the desired input for the generation of building stock models enriched with demolition-related information. With the latter, selective deconstruction strategies as well as appropriate waste stream routing agendas can be planned and executed, thereby securing safety at work during the demolition process itself and a waste stream routing according to the waste hierarchy. This review article gives an overview of currently deployed building material assessment tools (data capture and visualisation), both a prerequisite for improved information on materials and geometry (and thereby mass/volume). In addition, this article describes workflows employable for the purpose of urban mining in end-of-life buildings, of which one holistic approach will be described in depth.

建筑部门产生的废物对可持续废物管理提出了巨大挑战。这不仅是由于建筑和拆除活动中产生的大量废物，还归因于这些产品中可能含有的污染物。在这些条件下，废物管理必须确保回收尽可能多的资源，同时确保保持物料循环的清洁。这项艰巨的任务需要更多有关现有建筑材料的知识以及对当前拆除过程的适应。创新技术（例如建筑信息模型）或现代框架（例如地理信息系统），具有很高的潜力，可以为未来要进行拆解的单个对象以及整个城市的拆除活动概要地提供库存材料信息，作为管理人为库存和潜在城市采矿的基础。合适的数据收集方法允许获取所需的输入，以生成富含拆迁相关信息的建筑模型。借助后者，可以计划和执行选择性的解构策略以及适当的废物流路线安排议程，从而确保拆卸过程本身的安全性以及根据废物层次结构进行废物流路线安排。这篇评论文章概述了当前部署的建筑材料评估工具（数据捕获和可视化），两者都是改善有关材料和几何形状（以及质量/体积）信息的前提。此外，本文还介绍了可用于报废建筑物中城市采矿的工作流程，将详细介绍其中的一种整体方法。
