Constructech Reveals
Commercial Hottest Companies Winners
Carol Stream, Ill. – June 20, 2008 – Constructech magazine today announced the
commercial winners of the sixth annual Hottest Companies awards. These winners will
be featured in the July issue of Constructech, followed by the announcement of the
residential winners in the August issue.
Constructech's Hottest Companies awards are open to technology, building automation,
or 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.
Contractors in the commercial construction marketplace continue to focus on the
benefits of implementing systems for project management, workflow management, and
estimating, among others.
This continually forces technology vendors to adapt to the current trend and provide
the necessary solution. The 16 companies named "hot" this year have certainly met the
criteria.
"Constructech has named 16 companies to its annual Hottest Companies list this year," said Mike Carrozzo, editor of Constructech. "Each of the 2008 winners have really
stepped up and met the market demand head-on with innovative, leading edge
solutions."

"The winning companies this year bring strong solutions to the table for their
