Residential Winners Named in Constructech’s 2008 Hottest Companies
Carol Stream, Ill. – July 30, 2008
Today, Constructech magazine revealed the winners of the 2008 Hottest Companies awards in the residential market. These awards
recognize technology, building automation, and automated home technology vendors.
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.
Builders continue to use technology in order to improve their business practices. In Constructech’s 2008 National Technology
Survey, 62% of those surveyed said their firms are either aggressive or very aggressive when it comes to implementing technology.
One trend in 2008 shows that builders are now leaning more toward frontend solutions for sales and marketing. This year’s Hottest
Companies winners reflect this market trend.
“As solution providers strive for success in the residential construction market, they must consistently remain dynamic to best serve
their customer base,” said Mike Carrozzo, editor of Constructech magazine. “In 2008, Constructech has named seven companies to the annual
Hottest Companies listing. These technology vendors stay innovative and profitable in today’s construction space.”
