New project proposal related to this article

There is a new project proposal that some of you here may be interested in: Wikibuilder - a knowledge base covering the design and construction of the built environment, in its entirety, in all languages. See meta:Proposals for new projects#Wikibuilder and meta:Wikibuilder for more information, and feel free to add your comments to meta:Talk:Wikibuilder —Christiaan - ☎ 09:42, 18 Jan 2005

I am a British Architect and note the strong North American bias of this article. Be that as it may I refer to the caption of the mustachioed worker who is dealing with GORM-Wire That is a term unknown to me and, I imagine, many others. The spiral looks to me like reinforcing rod for a concrete column but it would help to have an explanation.

I note too that the crane is said to be "getting ready "etc. Cranes are inanimate but can be readied for operation by humans

I work in highway/heavy construction and this article seams to be missing much of what we do. Building roads, bridges, damns, and the like are also construction. I'm going to make some minor relevant changes now, and when I have time expand a larger section to highway/heavy.Zath42 09:47, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it seems to focus too much on business/legal side of things, ignoring the technical side. Samohyl Jan 15:40, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Any thoughts on the History of Construction? eg Primitive Shelters -Megaliths of Europe - Egypt, Greece, Rome etc
