Best of the blogs: construction

Seek inspiration from this list of construction blogs.

1. Constructionomics
Promising to ‘dig beneath the bedrock of the construction industry’, this blog offers insights on the big themes that construction professionals face. These include such issues as late payment, safety and the state of construction in the Middle East. Although its content is relatively infrequent, the blog offers a good overview of enduring construction themes and has plenty of off-site links.

2. UK Construction Blog 
This blog’s focus is on surveying and architecture as much as it is on pure construction. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that articles such as that on the world’s 50 most elegant graduate school buildings sit alongside the mundane. Luckily, the site is organised so you can easily filter out irrelevant entries, such as the one titled ‘Chicks found in bricks at builders’ merchant’.

3. Brickonomics
With an archive that dates back well over six years, this blog is an invaluable tool for those looking for analysis and comment on the economics of construction in the UK. Since it is the preserve of Building magazine staffer Brian Green, the blog benefits from a journalist’s insight, healthy scepticism and close proximity to the subject matter.

4. The Construction Index
For a light-hearted take on the construction machinery, look no further than the aptly named Digger Blog. With blog entries called ‘Dumpers for goalposts’ and others dedicated to playing Jenga with Cat machines, it’s certainly one for a Friday afternoon.

5. Aggregate
If it’s comment and analysis you crave, look no further than the Aggregate blog. It delivers on both scores, and attracts a knowledgable array of industry specialists to share their insights.
