Dr Ferriz-Papi's professional activity was developed in Spain (1997-2009), working as a site and construction manager, H&S coordinator, and quality control for new building construction, as well as existing building surveying and other professional works. He has co-funded one SME consultancy (2002-2009). He has been working as a Lecturer since 2001 at the University of Alicante (2001-2013); University of Wales Trinity Saint David (2015-2020); and University of Salford (2020 to present). He has developed a wide range of networks and partnerships, participating in national and international consortiums, including Climate KIC – Pioneers into Practice (2012-2013); Smart partnership (2018-2019); Horizon Europe (2022 to present); UKRI (2023 to present). Currently, Dr Ferriz-Papi is working as a Lecturer in Building Surveying at the University of Salford, where he continues developing his academic and research career. He is programme leader of the MSc Sustainable Buildings, and is developing industry collaborations and PhD supervisions around circular economy, embodied carbon, and sustainable materials for construction. He is participating in the UKGBC Circular Economy Forum, representing the University of Salford at the CIRIA Council, and is integrated as part of the Energy House Research Centre.

Abstract
This paper presents the development of a 3D digital model of end-of-service-life buildings to facilitate a step change in preparation of pre-demolition protocols that can eliminate problems of inadequate documentation and extensive time spent in preparing pre-demolition audits. The 3D digital model consists of the following four main components: (i) digitization of paper-based drawings and their conversion to CAD; (ii) automated generation of a 3D digital model from CAD; (iii) corrections to the 3D digital model to account for changes in the lifetime of a building; (iv) a sub-model for performing pre-demolition audit. This paper proposes the innovative approaches of incorporating a minimal amount of human intervention to overcome numerous difficulties in automated drawing analysis, application of augmented reality (AR) in corrections to the 3D digital model, and data compatibility for pre-demolition audit. These processes are demonstrated using one building as case study. Using the digital model, a pre-demolition audit can be prepared in minutes rather than the many days required in current practice without a digital model. The accurate quantification of the quantities and locations of different demolition waste materials and products in buildings to be demolished will enable a systematic and quantitative evaluation of potentials of material and product reuse and eliminate contamination of different demolition waste streams (which may contain hazardous waste), which is the main cause of environmental degradation and downcycling of demolition waste materials.
