It’s good to see Building espousing the cause for more women in construction but sadly the hammer-wielding lady on your front cover isn’t properly equipped for the job.

As any chippie will tell you, she’s clutching a ball peen hammer, favoured tool of car mechanics, engineers and bodgers everywhere but certainly not carpenters, who need something to pull out the nails they have just hammered in the wrong place.

Yours pedantically, Andrew Bond, Bovis Lend Lease
