Construction industry continues to evolve. Things are not happening only in offices and construction sites anymore, but also online. With increased popularity of social media, it hit construction industry too – construction influencers are on the rise! Inspired by Insynth, Design Build Network, The Bluebeam Blog, and others, we are sharing 5 construction influencers that inspired us the most.
Why you should follow construction influencers?
Before we show you our list, let’s talk about why you should follow construction influencers:
1. To learn something new
If you are in AEC (Architectural, Engineering and Construction) Industry, you should definitely be interested in more than just rules and regulations. Some construction influencers share their projects on their digital platforms, which is the perfect place to learn something new.
2. To keep up with the trends
Keeping up with the latest trends is not easy in any industry. In AEC industry, influencers are usually the first ones to talk about different trends. Ergo, keeping up with construction influencers can mean keeping up with the latest trends. This can help set you apart from your competition in the era of fast digital transformation.
3. To get new ideas
Most of construction influencers are documenting and promoting their craft, which can be useful to the people in the same industry, and even to individuals who are only looking for ideas for their next project.
4. To get an insight on how to progress your brand
Following and keeping up with construction influencers can help you to progress your own AEC related brand. So, next time when you think you don’t have time for watching other people do something on social media, think again. If nothing else, you can get some new ideas and knowledge, but in some cases, you can even get some information you can use for your own brand.
