About
Buildwise is the new name of the Belgian Building Research Institute (BBRI), founded in 1959 by and for the construction sector.
Buildwise's staff support construction professionals in their daily work, with a strong focus on practical application.
This close connection to the field is essential—hence the vital role of the Technical Committees, whose members represent the construction sector and are key to the Centre’s operations.
We are pursuing three ambitious strategic goals:
From a research centre to an innovation hub:
Buildwise aims first and foremost to share its expertise and knowledge to improve quality, productivity, and sustainability in the construction sector. In doing so, we are paving the way for innovation on construction sites and within companies.
Acting as a catalyst to foster knowledge sharing:
Buildwise seeks to further strengthen its unifying role. To meet the challenges of today and tomorrow, we aim to help the entire sector evolve.
Sharing expertise across disciplines:
Buildwise approaches problems from different angles and is not afraid to tackle them directly in the field. To deliver robust solutions, we promote a global and integrated approach—centered around three key pillars: technology, sustainability, and craftsmanship
