British buildings in focus
Construction types, materials and details relevant to buildings in Britain, with the applicable nation identified where guidance differs.
Why Buildology exists
Understand more.
Build on what you know.
A building is a collection of connected details. Understanding them — and keeping the work organised — is what brings Buildology together.
The idea behind the name
From a small detail
to the bigger picture.
A profile, a finish, a junction or a change in condition can be the beginning of a useful question. We are building a reference that helps people follow those questions with care.
The knowledge hub brings together construction, materials and building pathology. The project-management application gives teams a place to organise people, work and records.
Each has a distinct purpose. Together, they support more informed work on buildings.

What guides the work
Useful, clear
and open to correction.
Our aim is a library that becomes more useful as evidence, questions and experience accumulate.
Show the reasoning
Sources, illustrations and worked explanations help readers understand the route to an answer, including what remains uncertain.
Keep improving
A correction is useful knowledge. Better evidence should refine an explanation and the other guides that rely on it.
Connected, with a purpose
Understand here.
Apply in the field.
Buildology explains materials, construction and pathology. Surveyology develops the practical inspection methods, tools and field records that help you apply that understanding.
