Damon Schunmann

Damon has been writing about the built environment for over 20 years, with over a decade of that as Associate Editor at Construction News. There he oversaw technical content, industry research and helped steer many of the conferences, awards and other events on behalf of CN. Thought leadership, analysis and project articles, papers and reports, events, video scripts and social media posts are all in his repertoire. Damon writes for informed industry audiences: where have ideas come from, what's innovative, how issues connect, who the key players are, how technologies work, structural and mechanical principles. Damon holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Journalism and a Master's Degree in Media and Communication. With a background in mechanical, military and civil engineering, Damon made the career shift to journalism in 2004, having realised it was far easier to write about construction than actually do it.
