Designing Buildings (DB)<\/em> \u2013 host and partner to the IHBC\u2019s Conservation Wiki<\/a> – has reached a major milestone, with 20,000 articles published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018We\u2019re hugely proud of our association with Designing Buildings<\/em> in creating accessible, practice built environment information and guidance \u2013 especially quality assured heritage-related information for practitioners in the construction and development sector.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018It\u2019s especially gratifying to see that the Designing Buildings<\/em> knowledge, information and news project we joined in its early days is now so successful that it can underpin it service with more than 20,000 solid, clear and informative articles\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the UK’s leading knowledge-sharing platform for the construction industry, this achievement marks over a decade of commitment to making construction knowledge freely available to everyone, from students and professionals to clients and contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launched in 2012, Designing Buildings was created to break down knowledge silos in the built environment. Its open-access model allows users to contribute, edit and explore a vast range of topics \u2013 from technical standards and best practice guides to project case studies, historical insights, and regulatory updates. It has grown to be the cornerstone of online construction knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes Designing Buildings unique is its collaborative spirit. The content is written by a community of contributors from across the built environment \u2013 engineers, architects, planners, surveyors, academics, and more. This bottom-up approach means the site grows organically, with articles reflecting the real questions and needs of people working in the industry every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
