Demountability means further development of construction technique, generation of life cycles, no down cycling of construction material, optimization of construction and demounting activities, reuse of structural elements, and finally relief of the environment due to saving of resourses. There are special requirements which should be fulfilled in order to make a concrete structure demountable. The systems which exist in the Netherlands will be presented and discussed.
