Carol Stream, Ill., July 10, 2007 – With the release of the July issue of Constructech Commercial, Constructech announced the winners in the commercial market of its fifth annual Hottest Companies awards. Winners in the residential market will be highlighted in the August issue of Constructech Residential.
Constructech’s Hottest Companies Awards are open to technology, building automation, or automated home technology vendors. Each year, participating companies are judged by the Constructech editorial staff based on a range of criteria, including the description of the company’s product and/or service, significant accomplishments in the past year, the growth record for the past three years, noteworthy customer wins, and new products impacting the marketplace.
Construction companies demand technology solutions that will help them reach the next level. This forces technology providers to constantly evolve their solutions and many of this year’s winners demonstrate this ability. Of the 22 companies named “hot” this year for the commercial sector, eight of them have received this distinction three or more times in the history of the Hottest Companies award.
Constructech also designated 10 “Companies to Watch” and one “Up & Coming” from the entries received. These companies have caught the eye of our editors, as companies the editors will keep close tabs on in the coming months to see if they will earn the distinction as “hot” in 2008.
“Construction companies are no longer laggards when it comes to adopting technology. They demand innovative solutions that will improve their business; solutions such as building information modeling, Web-based collaboration tools, and mobile applications,” says Mike Carrozzo, editor, Constructech. “This year’s winners clearly show they are leaders in providing emerging solutions to the market.”
