'Play along with the Wkb'

PlanGarant, Develop Inc. and Merkvast have developed an online game to test market knowledge of the Building Quality Assurance Act (Wkb). The game is intended for project developers, architects, builders, housing corporations and the competent authority. The aim of the game is to stimulate knowledge development and awareness of the opportunities and risks of the Wkb.

How does the game work?

Per game round, the participant is presented with 8 questions about the Wkb. After each question you turn the digital wheel for a new question category. After each round, the score is displayed and you see immediately whether you have a chance of winning a prize. Categories range from design to completion and from permits to guarantees.

Market research and knowledge development

The purpose of the game is multiple. Besides a knowledge test, game is also intended for market research. The answers to the questions give a good picture of knowledge about the Wkb within the construction industry. It is possible to interpret the level of knowledge by function group, company type and company size.

Outcomes of the survey will be published on a regular basis. With the outcomes, governments, quality assurance companies and industry associations can specify their communications and services to the knowledge level and needs of the market.

Knowledge, attitude and behavior

This also gives the construction parties themselves a clear picture of knowledge gaps that need further elaboration. After all, effective implementation of the Wkb starts with the right knowledge and understanding of the risks. This is followed by the desired attitude and behavior. At www.wkbonline.nl everyone can test their knowledge of the Wkb in a fun and easy way.
