APPROVED LANGUAGE FOR PRESS RELEASES

Now in its 22nd year of publication, Construction Executive is the leading trade magazine about the business of construction. Published in its Sept./Oct. 2024 issue, CE’s Top Construction Technology Firms list was developed by asking hundreds of firms that provide technology and software solutions for the construction industry to complete a nomination form. The information collected included: 1) the firm’s product offerings specific to the AEC industry; 2) the user profile (type and size of firm for which each product is recommended); 3) how each product is sold (by seat, user, license and/or project, etc.); and 4) the number of active users within the past 12 months (by individual users and/or companies). There was no fee to participate and not every firm that completed the nomination form made this curated list. After carefully scrutinizing the data collected, the 2024 list of CE’s Top Construction Technology Firms was developed. For more information, contact surveys@magazinexperts.com. Note: Some technology firms that did not submit the nomination form by the deadline were included for the sake of completeness.
