See More ty-based, collaborative approach to a famously fragmented industry. It boasts a number of unique features, including a question-based crowdsourcing engine, easily discoverable video and written reference resources, and the ability for both seasoned and aspiring professionals to form global networks with their peers.

At the heart of Construo lies its question-answering engine, along similar (but more subject-focused) lines to Quora. Using this, construction professionals can pose real-world questions (specific to their jobs or more general) to the entire Construo base. They can then register votes for their favourite answers, and Construo’s upvoting/downvoting system ensures that the best questions and answers remain prominent on the portal – rather than becoming buried in a feed as they would, for example, on LinkedIn.

Thus, Construo highlights the biggest issues facing the construction industry at any one time. Currently, for example, the site shows that construction professionals are most concerned about Covid-19-related working practices and the drive towards sustainability and energy saving.

Construo is also the perfect entry point for young people looking to pursue a career in the construction industry. In what is a physically fragmented industry – especially given the current situation – it gives them the chance to amass useful contacts, and to tap into Construo’s vast well of building-related knowledge by asking questions.
