Top Blogs for the Industry, By the Industry

Here at Build Intel we recognize the importance of cutting through the clutter.  According to Technorati, there are more than 112 million blogs running rampant on the Internet.  That statistic alone makes us want to thank you from the concrete foundation of our blog posts for visiting this site.  We strive to deliver meaningful, succinct content on a regular basis and to do so, we rely on a few fellow blogs to do just that.

Here are our recommendations for some (11) of the best building-related blogs ready to RSS feed your daily intake of industry knowledge.  Also, we’ve taken the liberty to identify those written by industry media (professional journalists) and those spawned from the passion of industry experts and/or those in the workforce (citizen journalists).
