As a 26-year-old building surveyor working for a large contractor, I had hoped that your graduate article (16 September) would have addressed all the issues the construction industry faces.

However, once again with Building magazine, it doesn’t.

Ten people, all the “acceptable” colour for the industry – Building, what about all the black people? How can these 10 represent the industry, when they don’t represent the country?

I’m disappointed, though not surprised, as black people are rarely represented in Building, and when they are, it’s the usual stereotypes.

Just wanted to share my opinion with you … And for the record, I’m not black, I’m Jewish!
