Content Creators Within AEC That I Follow

And You Might Like As Well

Apr 26, 2023

Hey friends👋👋,

Back in 2016 when I started university, content creation wasn’t as big of a thing as it is now. 😥😥

And there were definitely no structural engineers creating content other than expensive academic textbooks.

It’s unfortunate, because I had no imagination of what structural engineers or other people in the AEC industry are doing in their day-to-day job and if it’s actually something for me.

But luckily that has changed over the last 3–5 years and a few people from our industry were brave enough to share their knowledge publicly. 💻💻

In this post, I am going to share the creators I have been following myself in the last years and from whom I could learn a lot. But I am curious to know who you are following. Let me know in the comments below. 📝📝

Content Creators in AEC

#1 Brendan Hasty - YouTube

👉Brendan Hasty’s YT channel👈

Brendan is an Australian structural engineer (and now YouTuber) with over 20 years of professional experience.

On his YouTube channel, he explains structural concepts, gives advice to young engineers, and breaks down real-world engineering projects.

It’s my favourite structural engineering-related YouTube channel. The content and video editing are great, and his content is applicable anywhere in the world.

Thanks, Brendan, for putting in the hard work! 🙏🙏

#2 DegreeTutors

👉DegreeTutors YT channel 👈

👉DegreeTutors online platform👈

DegreeTutors is a great YouTube channel and learning platform when it comes to internal force and FE calculations with Python.

Once I have some more time, I will definitely sign up for one of his courses.

#3 Everyday Dazz - Darren Wong

👉Everyday Dazz YT channel👈

Darren’s channel is all about practical structural design calculations. What I really like about his videos is the fact that he points out the importance of hand calculations.

#4 Mat Picardal

👉Mat Picardal’s YT channel👈

Like Brendan, Mat is an experienced structural engineer. He shares his knowledge and gives tips to younger engineers.

#5 Łukasz Skotny - Enterfea

👉Łukasz Skotny’s blog👈

Probably the best resource if you want to dive into the world of FEM. I subscribed to Lukasz’s newsletter and I can only recommend it. His writing is spot on and he also has online courses.

#6 BIM Corner

👉BIM Corner blog👈

BIM Corner is a great blog covering everything happening in the BIM industry. I’ve been enjoying reading their blog posts, as my first jobs were within BIM modelling and coordination.

#7 Krzysztof Wojslaw - LearnGrasshopper

👉Learn Grasshopper homepage👈

As parametric design is more and more implemented in structural engineering and architecture, it’s great to have resources specifically for engineers.

Krzysytof has a weekly newsletter and a Grasshopper fundamentals online course.

#8 B1M

👉B1M YT channel👈

This channel covers the biggest construction projects in the world. It’s an amazing resource to get inspired by what our industry is capable of.

Let us all know in the comments below, if you are following any of the content creators above, and who your favourite content creator is within the AEC industry. ✍️✍️

Have a great day!
