Overview of leading construction forums.
Dear guests of the site is just a master, we are glad to inform you that this article we are opening a completely new one and, as we all hope, the section of our website “News and Reviews” is extremely useful for you. On its pages, we will try to introduce you to the most interesting in our opinion by the construction and repair publications of Runet, as well as print periodicals, which, in our subjective opinion, should be at hand for each person in one way or another connected with construction works.
And, in order not to seem unfounded, we will not go too deep into welcoming speeches, but right in this debut material, we will briefly run through the 7 leading construction forums of the Russian-speaking Internet and try, immodest, but as objectively as possible to evaluate their usefulness for the user.
So let’s start.
Meet:
Our unconditional No. 1 “Lesstroy” (Lesstroy. When copying, remove the gaps)-an absolute celestial among Russian-speaking Internet resources oriented on construction topics. But at the same time, it can hardly be called the forum in the literal sense of the word – there you will not find any lessons on plaster walls based on personal experience, nor stormy discussions of the chainsaw of a new structure. Lesstroy is designed not for ordinary workers with golden hands, but for more wealthy people who prefer to trust the construction and repair of their housing professionals. Its catalog presents all the construction companies of Russia (with a detailed description) that deserves attention, provides for the possibility of affixing assessments of their activities and placing reviews (there is a rigid moderation, so you can be sure of their absolute authenticity).
Our assessment: the portal is invaluable for a person who is in the search for a conscientious contractor, there is an opportunity to read a beautiful advertisement, and reviews of former customers see. And then, comparing promises with the final result, make your choice. The moderators of the portal are stern are fair and practically incurred =), so reviews, for the most part, can be believed. But here the administration has to fight flood, so do not forget to think with your own head.
No. 2 Forum “Building and Repair” (Building-Fom. When copying, remove the gaps) – discreet, not the most rated, but at the same time a very comfortable and interesting construction forum, which will undoubtedly appeal to a person “in the topic”. Bribes a large number of thematic sections, which, incidentally, are very conveniently structured, as well as the abundance of users who not only own valuable, profile information, but also do not disdain to share it with newcomers.
Our assessment: if you need the correct and affordable answers to complex questions – welcome. But do not try to let the local inhabitants with dust in the eyes, posing as a pros, if you are not really, they will turn off at a time – and there is no pleasure, and you will lose the reputation.
No. 3 Forum “House and Dacha” (Fomhouse. When copying, remove the gaps) – in excess of an informative portal, designed primarily for the average layman. There is no question of a narrow orientation here, since the creators managed to unite on the resource all topics somehow related to suburban construction and country farming, from the construction of greenhouses to the current situation in the housing lending market. True, it is worth paying up to them – the navigation of the site is quite high quality, and the materials are structured simply and conveniently. Although their abundance can still be at a dead end of an inexperienced user.
Our assessment: This forum is not as professional and concrete as previous ones, since rare experts, here are often in the shadow of crowds of lovers. So if you expect to find help there, get ready for careful filtering dozens of diverse answers. But it is not only possible to boast of your own successes or share the joys or sorrows of the new building here, but it is also necessary – they will meet universal support and understanding.
No. 4 Forum “Your House” (FOM. vashdom. When copying, remove the gaps) – a large resource with a wide thematic orientation. Here you can talk not only about construction and building materials, but also real estate, design (including landscape), as well as architectural design. There are a lot of experts on the resource, although they monitor far from all topics and in order to find out their opinion and get advice will have to try to state their question competently and interesting.
Our assessment: the main advantage of the forum – the lack of compulsory registration is simultaneously its main weakness. After all, a large number of answers to the question posed often complicates the search for the correct.
No. 5 Forum “Wooden Houses” (FOM. Derev-Grad. When copying, remove the gaps) – a highly specialized resource that illuminates exclusively the theme of wooden housing construction. Has an unobtrusive pleasant design and a comfortable structure for the user. The minus of the forum is unambiguously extremely weak moderation and an overwhelming amount of poorly hidden advertising/anti -advertisements of diverse manufacturers, which greatly complicates the life of an ordinary user.
Our assessment: the main sections related to the technology of wooden housekeeping and the construction process itself are quite readable and contain enough useful information, although for the most part and not expert. The same part of the forum in which separate construction firms are considered, we strongly recommend bypassing the side, since it is the territory of the information war between hired copywriters of direct competitors in the construction market, whose fake reviews can only confuse you, complicating the choice of the contractor. You can read more about this forum on this very curious resource: Stroyshield. som (when copying, remove the gap).
No. 6. Forum “Ideas of your home” (FOM. IVD. When copying, remove the gaps) – an extremely interesting resource in detail and very professionally illuminating the theme of internal design of apartments and country houses. On its pages you will find thousands of interesting design ideas, backed up by photographs and videos that can be a good help to create a unique atmosphere in your own house or office.
Our assessment: we strongly recommend adding to the bookmarks and regularly attend, at least for the purpose of self -education.
No. 7 Forum “Stroy firms” (FOM. Stroyfirm. When copying, remove the gaps) – still useful, albeit a slightly outdated construction portal, mainly illuminating the topic of suburban construction and landscape design. It is distinguished among the rest by the presence of sections devoted to information construction articles and regulatory documents.
Our assessment: the resource gradually goes into circulation and at the moment can be considered more like a good addition to more successful competitors.
On this we have everything. We remind you that this article expresses only our personal opinion, which, we hope, will not be superfluous for you.
Until new meetings.
