Sorting out some old website bookmarks on my home PC, I found a few construction IT and e-business ones dating back, in some cases, to 2000 (ie: before the dot.com bubble burst in 2001). Since then, numerous businesses have merged, rebranded or simply disappeared; for example:
- Architec.net – “page cannot be displayed”
- Bidcom – merged into Citadon, which merged into CTSpace
- BuildOnline – merged into CTSpace
- BuildPoint.com – clicks through to isqft.com (offers Internet Plan Room services)
- Buildingwork.com – domain for sale
- Citadon – see Bidcom above
- Clicksure.com – domain for sale
- Construction-uk.com – iCorporation website holding page says offices badly damaged by fire and websites unavailable until further notice
- e-businessreview.co.uk – “page cannot be displayed”
- E-construct – Clicks through to firstM.co.uk, a former website design business
- iScraper – Nothing. (iScraper went bust in 2001. BIW took UK business; BuildOnline took over iScraper’s mainland Europe projects)
- UKonlineforbusiness.gov.uk – “page cannot be displayed”
