Build Reuse Wiki

Introducing the Build Reuse Wiki

The Build Reuse Wiki is a website that displays key information and resources (guidelines, case studies, policy primers, research papers, etc.) produced and shared by the building material reuse community. Access the Wiki

The Build Reuse Forum aims to supplement the Build Reuse Wiki by providing a space for members to directly communicate with other members.

Wiki & Forum News

Updated January 2024

The initial idea of the Wiki was to have any Build Reuse member who wanted editing access to join as an editor of the Wiki. However, over the course of the Wiki pilot in 2023, it became evident that even the most enthusiastic individuals have difficulty making the time to post resources on the Wiki.

Because AllAnswered is a pay-by-user platform, it unfortunately did not make sense to continue adding individuals who are typically not using the platform. At this point in time if you would like to see a specific resource posted on the Wiki, please email info@buildreuse.org.

Wiki Launch Webinar: Recording Available

Build Reuse hosted a free webinar on Wednesday, July 12th, 2023, which included a live demonstration of the tool - how to use it, how it can help you, and how it will better facilitate knowledge-sharing both within and external to our building material reuse community.
