0000 – From LinkedIn to the Blogosphere: Exploring Construction Perspectives

  • Updated
  • 2 mins read

As the inaugural entry on this website, it’s important to clarify that this is not your typical blog post that follows a regular publishing schedule. Instead, its primary purpose is to complement the LinkedIn posts. Here, we aim to expand on specific posts, projects, or subjects covered, such as raft construction or the utilization of structural brickwork.

Before we delve further into the topic, we want to emphasize that our intention is not to present our recommendations as the sole correct approach. The field of construction encompasses numerous methods and techniques to achieve desired outcomes, and it is through experimentation and experience that we continue to advance. However, certain practices can be deemed incorrect, especially when it comes to ensuring the structural integrity of a building. Considering the constant force of gravity, our objective is to counteract its effects and uphold the stability of our structures, or ensure sewer goes downhill.

To aid office staff or on-site personnel, we have provided downloadable resources that serve as handy reference guides. These resources can be shared and distributed as needed, provided they remain unaltered.

As previously mentioned, the posts on this website serve to complement our LinkedIn presence. Most of these posts will likely fall under the news category, featuring updates on projects, projects break ground or their completion. Additionally, we will explore different perspectives, often inspired by our LinkedIn posts. For example, if we come across exceptional or subpar quality brickwork on a site, we may delve into the advantages of load-bearing brickwork construction or compare reinforced concrete (RC) and brickwork construction. It’s important to note that these are perspectives, as there isn’t just one correct way to lay bricks. Every bricklayer has their own preferred method, often claiming it to be the best and most efficient. Ultimately, what matters is achieving the desired outcome with precision and accuracy.
