Constructech Names Top Products Winners

Carol Stream, Ill. – Feb. 8, 2008 – Today, the winners were named for the first Constructech Top Products awards in the residential market.

The Constructech Top Products honor the best products tailored for the homebuilding market. Winning entries were chosen based on product description, the product’s overall usefulness and uniqueness to the construction industry, and the customer growth rate for the particular product throughout the past few years.

In a recent survey, Constructech readers showed that they plan to spend $100,000 or more on new technology in the coming year. As the spotlight on technology becomes more focused, the companies who provide established technologies in the construction space may benefit from these upcoming investments.
