BuildAction works by providing a comprehensive centralized platform for all stakeholders from the public, private, and civil sectors of society to participate in the development and protection of communities.  The platform's technical features help stakeholders to connect, communicate, collaborate, and coordinate action.

BuildAction is a community participation tool and crowdsourcing platform that allows users to connect with interested individuals and organizations, share resources and best practices, and leverage each other's strengths to achieve common goals.  This networking feature fosters collaboration and enables users to tap into a wider pool of expertise and resources.

BuildAction is also a knowledge-sharing platform where users can access a wealth of information, research, and case studies related to community protection and development.  This resource center helps users stay informed and up-to-date on the latest insights and best practices in the field.

BuildAction aims to empower stakeholders to work together more effectively and efficiently toward the common goal of building and protecting thriving and sustainable communities.  By providing a centralized platform for collaboration and communication, the platform simplifies the process of coordinating collective action and facilitates the exchange of knowledge and resources among stakeholders.

No other participation platform is as comprehensive as BuildAction or focuses on the sustainable development and protection of living space and the built environment – buildings and infrastructures.  It is an independent open-source platform that encourages the participation of all stakeholders from all sectors of society.
