As far as trades go, construction is definitely one of the harder ones to pin down in a historical context. Electricians have only existed as long as electricity has been around, and plumbers have only existed since the advent of plumbing. Construction, however, is a much more general idea. The first construction workers were some ancient ancestors who used rocks and wood to assemble a structure as we finally moved out of caves into homes we made for ourselves. So it's safe to say we've been doing construction for thousands of years.
These days, we're not making a lot of buildings out of straw and mud thanks to our incredible advances in technology. We have laser levels! We're also able to work on a much more massive scale than one tiny building at a time. Our biggest construction machines can move tons of material, lift enormous walls and dig humongous trenches. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai stands 2,717 feet tall in a testament to the fantastic kind of construction work the human race is capable of pulling off. If you have any interest in construction, then you also need to have some knowledge about the tools of the trade. If you think you know construction equipment, then take our quiz and show your stuff!
