Our Mission
Our mission is to empower our global audience to create cost effective, cutting-edge, environmentally-friendly buildings that promote well-being and energy efficiency.
Who We Are
The Build Review is a growing collaborative author network consisting of industry leaders, commentators, subject matter experts, and advisors from around the world. Our collective goal is to plan, design, and construct better, with a focus on improving both our lives and the health of our planet.
Our mission is to promote greater collaboration between the industry sectors, and their consumers, educating and transforming businesses and individuals alike. We achieve this by advocating the use of improved building systems and embracing more sustainable and healthier products. Additionally, we encourage the adoption of more efficient, less disruptive, and wasteful practices.
Founded by Ian Thompson, a seasoned designer, engineer, and builder with 35 years of experience spanning three continents, our advisory and educational team offers valuable strategic insights and impartial industry knowledge to project stakeholders worldwide.
What We Do
Whilst our skills and experience are diverse, we focus our attention in 5 core areas:
- Industry and Consumer Education: We strive to enable greater access to globally created content that helps spread awareness of better building systems, products and practices that will ultimately improve the what we design and build, and how we build it.
- Planning, Design and Building Advisory: We help industry professionals and consumers to build better, addressing items including: 1) sustainability, 2) off-gassing, health, well-being, 3) building systems, products and material specification, 4) practices, efficiency, resources, and reducing disruption.
- Market Research and Distribution: We facilitate cost reduction in construction by enabling a wider range of product choices and fostering new market competition, all while ensuring higher build quality and living standards.
- Promotion of Better Building Systems: We advocate for advanced building systems, superior products, innovative technologies, and more efficient, less disruptive practices.
- Technology: We also excel in Software as a Service (SAAS) and PaaS development, offering cutting-edge solutions tailored to improving the global building and construction industries.
