Technical Information Websites

Although there are hundreds of construction-industry related websites, we believe that there are only a handful that provide similar information to ArchiMentor. We analyse their strengths and weaknesses below. If you know of any others, particularly any that are freely available, please e-mail us using the link in the box to the right.

Technical Information Websites

AJ+ (Architects' Journal)

• www.ajplus.co.uk
• Requires login, available only to Architects' Journal subscribers.
• The Technical & Practice section has text search only, with no visible indexes. The information you require may be buried in the article and difficult to find. The technical content is only as good as the AJ article itself, i.e. it may vary from minimal (because the article is design orientated) to very good.

CWCT (Centre for Window and Cladding Technology

• www.cwct.co.uk
• Cladding Forum requires login, available only to CWCT members.
• The Technical Updates and Technical Notes are all within the Cladding Forum. Each one covers a very specific topic and they are all of high quality. Non-members may view the Technical Notes index, and the first page of each note, without registration.

NBS (National Building Specification)

• www.thenbs.com
• The NBS provides a wide range of services, details of which can be found on the NBS page.
