Words hold awesome power, capable of changing opinions and exposing myths! So for those meticulous construction designers, always on the lookout for new practices and trends in construction, I present this brief – but hopefully illuminating read, on the 5 Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) blogs that can push your designs to the next level!
But before we go on any further, I would like to quickly dispel the biggest myth about construction today – that design engineering is a static, unchanging field. Nothing could be further from the truth! Take the example of just this decade, which saw the emergence of eco-friendly design practices, regularization of VDC based building techniques and increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in construction design!
Every year brings with it new and improved design practices, and these blogs have managed to stay ahead of the hype, year after year! Presenting to you, the absolutely essential blog list for construction designers everywhere.
- Technostruct
As a relatively new player in construction, Technostruct has already made huge waves with their spectacular BIM designs, inspired Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) processes and painless engineering solutions in electrical, mechanical and plumbing alike. Technostruct has completed construction design projects of all proportions, from residential projects to government infrastructure (such as airport) designs.
Technostruct hosts a regularly updated, tell-all blog, covering topics such as BIM implementation, design engineering, and VDC, etc – all fully in sync with leading construction practices being employed today!

- AEC Business
Created by Aarni Heiskanen, a well-known architect turned instructor, AEC business presents a business-oriented look at the world of construction design. At times, the blog veers off towards Finnish designs, due to the author’s own personal heritage, but the content is always fresh and universally applicable, addressing the latest industry trends and design techniques.

The timeless black and yellow CAT design is one that can be recognized universally. But most people are unaware of the blogging this enormous construction equipment selling organization does! The blogs revolve heavily around CAT machinery and tools, but it’s a must read for those in the market for a flawless building tech! - Building.co.uk
The UK is ripe with the availability of construction projects, and this is exactly what Building.co.uk leverages in their blog on building practices and designing. The focus of Building.co.uk lies on UK infrastructure and events surrounding construction design.

Medium is a well-known site for blogs in nearly infinite topics. While it isn’t particularly focused on construction, Medium does offer a wide range of interesting, well-written articles on BIM, 3D building design and other associated designing topics.
