A short year-end note of thanks and admiration for Tony Bingham

Nobody gets close to his understanding of the whole industry. The combination of wit and eloquence as a writer, insight and irreverence as a lawyer, experience and intelligence as a builder are just wonderful.

His articles somehow seem to pass under the radar, unremarked, small things but beautifully honed. For anyone who hasn’t been paying attention, just read back over the past two years, from issue 01 of 2007 to last week’s diatribe on collaborative working – it’s all great stuff, richly sceptical without the slightest hint of cynicism.

I know Building’s got “Best of Bingham” on the website, but how about doing a “Best of” book every few years?
