Construction, in its broadest sense, refers to the act of building something. That description isn’t really specific, right? And what comes when a term is described in a non-specific way? It creates space for hilarious interpretations and funny leeways, as if construction work wasn’t already a suspiciously funny topic. Combine that quirky elbow room of interpretation with building a house, and you’ll have some of the best funny construction jokes ever. 

Yup, we’re talking about construction memes, puns, one-liners, and even dirty construction jokes that will leave you wondering how on Earth you’ve spent your life without them. Of course, these funny construction puns and jokes wouldn’t be as charming without the main element here—the workers. These dudes and gals either seem to be in a terribly foul mood or merry and without any worry. It’s only ever one of these feelings; have you ever seen a construction worker displaying any other emotions? Neither have we. But that’s exactly why these contractor memes and construction jokes are so hilarious—it’s the human factor! 

If you deem yourself to be a real connoisseur of written entertainment, some of these bits also fall into the construction dad jokes category. If you were to ask us, these are the absolute best kinds of jokes. Get ready to read these glorious, funny, and dirty construction jokes. They will surely squeeze a giggle or two out of you, so give the best jokes your vote! Don’t forget to share this article with your friends who might need some cheering up today.

Nailed the Pun, Seriously

Not all construction work is equally enjoyable. For instance, drilling a large hole is boring, but fastening two pieces of metal together is riveting.

    What Are the Biggest Construction Fails?

    Construction memes and jokes are hilarious because they play on well-known facts and some stereotypes about builders. Even though there are many great contractors, some careless workers will still make a name for themselves. Yep, we’re talking about construction fails, and their insane effects on society. Here are a few of the worst construction fails that happened on a large scale!

    Tacoma Narrows Bridge

    The Tacoma Narrows Bridge was constructed in 1940 and was the first cable suspension bridge and the third-largest suspension bridge in the US at that time. Just after its construction, it was found to dangerously buckle and sway during windy conditions. Even with normal winds, the bridge would undulate noticeably. And just four months later, 40mph winds caused it to collapse! Luckily, not a single person was killed, and its collapse influenced how future bridges were built and how engineers approached bridge aerodynamics.

    Vdara Hotel and Spa

    The Vdara Hotel and Spa was opened in December 2009. Unfortunately, just a year later, this hotel’s construction created problems when it was discovered to be a ‘death ray.’ The hotel was designed with a unique, curved structure that collected solar rays and beamed them to the hotel’s swimming pool area. Guests who were sunbathing ended up with singed hair, and one person’s plastic bag melted! Even though there are funny construction worker memes, these terrifying construction fails will make you rethink the structures around you.

    The Leaning Tower of Pisa

    Tourists love the Leaning Tower of Pisa because they can take funny pictures with it. But this tower is quite a fantastic construction failure in action. The building gets its weird design from a shoddy foundation built on soil with no load-bearing abilities. At the time of construction, when the tilt was noticed, the upper floors were created to make them taller on one side, resulting in its curved structure.
