I'm just now realizing that, even after the release of Bestiary 2, it appears there is still quite a lackluster pool of common construct creature options for the Summon Construct spell. Hopefully Paizo is aware of this issue and has plans to provide more options in Bestiary 3? I think the idea of summoning a construct into battle is really cool, but per RAW the lack of options makes the spell less usable right now when compared to the other summon spells.

I houserule allowing summon spells to use elite/weak templates so they can get more thematic monsters that they want. Characters usually want to be a devil summoner, not a fiend summoner per-se, so this makes that a little easier.
I had thought it was said that Bestiary 2 would help to fill out a lot of the summon lists, but there are still plenty of gaps. Hopefully B3 will make a concentrated effort to make sure you have 1-2 options for every level of every summon spell across the three bestiaries.
