Hi, I’m Todd Remington, the current executive editor and a writer for Buildwise. Over the past +30 years I’ve been an architect, builder, researcher and homeowner. Yet, I don’t claim to be an expert in home-building. I like reading, writing and talking about it though. Hopefully you do too. Home is the largest investment most of us have. More importantly, home is the one place that reflects our future dreams and daily realities. Why wouldn’t we seek to design and build this special place wisely?
The Buildwise Mission
Helping anyone and everyone build wisely is our mission. The home-building industry is complicated and opaque. Buildwise seeks transparency by demystifying this industry for all, especially homeowners and sympathetic professionals.
The History of Buildwise
Buildwise started in 2005 as an online library of building science. Back then our goal was disseminating research about good building practices and techniques.
We eventually realized most building research isn’t user-friendly for building professionals or homeowners. Recently Buildwise has changed focus. We’re now committed to making the latest research and industry news accessible for all. A new mission furthered through crowd sourcing, humorous commentary and interpretation by enlightened industry insiders.
