Constructing a question of the title

[Construction Pete]

I have a short volume of words in my head. A few pages short of a thesaurus, rather than a scotch egg short of a picnic.
I think I know what I want, but I struggle to think of the right words.
So I ask all of you to use those extra words you know to help me out.

I am looking for a title for my book, which is a collection of short stories o n a building site. I have an idea that it follows a similar layout to a diary book, where each day or short story is its own event and does not merge into the others. It's based on my life experiences as a manager on a British construction site, and it documents the antics and the foolish things people have done. I grew up on Stanley Backer monologues, and this sort of follows in its style. Sub 1000-word stories.

I liked the idea of "Construction tales", it splits the concept of tales and story, and the construction site. But it does not sound as it should; I can not explain it. It's close, but I think there is a better one, but I don't have the words in my head to find it. I like it as it combines construction and tales at the same time. I did think of adding "of" in the middle, but I think it loses its edge then

For the UK people, I had Builder or construction sites in mind, and that sort of short story collection in mind. I wanted to combine building and or construction with tales or stories. or the role of a construction site manager. I don't mind if you don't want to give away a title but any suggestions for words to add to my merger collection would be very helpful.

Here are other titles I had thought of,
Tales from the site office
Site managers' story time.
Site cabin tales
The site manager's accident book
You did what today at work?
Site managers' story construction tales
tales of construction
The idiots guide to building site stories
How to become a safety violation.

From the sounds of it, it appears your stories are humourous?

Construction Comedies

That collection sounds interesting. As far as titles go:

"Construction Tales (and other mishaps)", maybe a bit generic. Adding "and other mishaps" would probably improve most book titles.

You could play on words a bit with storey/story:
"10 Storeys"
"10 Storeys High"
"10 Storeys, not high just drunk"

You could name it after a quotation within the book that encapsulates the theme, whether something like "no Jim, that doesn't go there" or "come back when you're sober" with Tales from a Construction Site as subtitle.

Cheers for this. many thanks

Someone at work suggested I call the book after the building firm I work for.
So my building company name would be,
Bodgeit, Bangit, and Scarper LTD
Do you think if I went "The Bodgeit, Bangit & Scarper Health and Safety handbook"

Do you spell Bodge It as two words or one and with the "E" or no "E"?

Those words must be a British thing.
