It’s great to see experts coming together with Resibuild to help establish best practice and to create the change of culture that’s so badly needed in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
Creating the Vision
Chapter 1 focuses on aspects to consider when creating initial plans for a building, including infrastructure, neighbourhood, and environmental concerns.
Featuring contributions from heralded architects like Scott Brownrigg and Sheppard Robson, this chapter serves as inspiration to those interested in building design.
Delivering the Vision
Chapter 2 concentrates on how to ensure the successful delivery of a project. This section details key considerations around product selection, ensuring compliance, safety, fire risk and quality control.
Additionally, the section discusses issues that developers and architects may not be aware of at the design stage, which can later impact work on-site.
Maintaining the Vision
For chapter 3 we turn our focus to the maintenance of buildings post-occupancy and considers the legacy they often leave for property management teams.
This section also focuses on the role of the resident within developments, detailing their potential to change a building long term through their activities.

The philosophy of this book is that all elements of a build, from the vision through to maintenance, must be balanced in harmony to create truly successful builds.
Each of the three chapters informs the others. While design elements impact the build and maintenance, these stages should also impact the design. By considering all aspects of a building’s lifecycle we can ensure safer homes for the future.
