It's both simple and revolutionary.

We’ve reached a huge milestone. There are now 1,000 articles on Designing Buildings Wiki.

We started out with no articles at all, but with a simple vision – to put all construction industry knowledge in one place and make it available to everyone for free. This was a direct response to the persistent problems of poor dissemination, single-discipline silos, adversarial behaviour and reluctance to innovate that have blighted the industry for as long as anyone can remember. As far back as 1944, the [[Simon_Report|Simon Report]] ‘The Placing and Management of Building Contracts’ recommended better training of construction managers and a more collaborative approach to design and construction.

We imagined an industry where every individual, every organisation and every discipline had access to all industry knowledge. Where clients could find out what should be happening on their project, where consultants could access the latest research and to understand better other disciplines and specialisms. Where we share best practice and prevent mistakes. It is both simple and revolutionary.

Now we have 1000 articles, ranging from general introductions to subjects like [[Planning_permission|planning permission]], right through to uber-detailed articles for specialists, like the [[The_resonant_column_method|resonant column method]] for measuring the dynamic response of soils. We even have an article on [[Notation_and_Symbols|notation]] that tells me I should have written 1000 not 1,000 to avoid confusion with the continental decimal marker.

250,000 people have benefitted from free access to the articles on the site, helping them to operate more efficiently, avoid mistakes and innovate.

There’s a long way to go and we are reliant on you to keep adding new articles and improving what’s already there. It’s really easy to do – just click on the big orange button. If you’re not sure where to start, have a look at the list of [[Articles_required|articles we know we are missing]], or the list of articles needing more work.
