On the first day of Christmas DB for the industry...
In 2022 Designing Buildings, the construction industry wiki celebrated its 10 year anniversary, launched on 22 June 2012 with one simple vision to "Put construction industry knowledge in one place and make it available to everyone free." Designing Buildings is a free, open access site. Anyone can create articles about subjects they know and anyone can find articles about subjects they don’t.
We would like to thank our partners without whom we could not continue to provide a free service:
- The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)
- The Building Services Research and Information Association (BSRIA),
- The Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC)
- The Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT)
- The Electrical Contractors' Association (ECA)
- The Association for Project Management (APM)
As well as the contributors, users and fans helping us to do this.
To celebrate 10 years of sharing industry knowledge, here are some reminders, looking back in a seasonal order and style:
