Help us ensure construction knowledge stays FREE.
Designing Buildings is a free, collaborative website that gives users access to more than 16,000 articles about the planning, design, construction, operation and decommissioning of built assets.
It was created by project manager David Trench and architect Gregor Harvie to help the construction industry share best practice, avoid errors and encourage the adoption of research and innovation.
We believe everyone in the construction industry should have free access to the knowledge they need to do their job as well as they can.
Every donation you make, no matter how small, will help us maintain, grow and improve the site and ensure construction knowledge stays free. Please click the button below and donate now.
Thank you for your support.
