BuildBoom Is New Social Network for the Construction Industry
Social platform provides members of the industry a professional space to connect
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — BuildBoom, a construction social network has officially launched its public invitation beta with a general public date of Nov. 25, 2015. The social platform is designed to provide members of the industry a professional space to connect and create communities around projects.
James Faulkner, president of SiteMAX Systems Inc. (parent company of BuildBoom), noticed how quickly connections between individuals fade once a project is complete. With millennials replacing older generations in the industry, social media is their primary method for communicating and sharing information. To date, they have been constrained to using general social channels that have no particular content focus. Posting construction related content onto mainstream social networks is irrelevant to a large percentage of the audience. This realization is what triggered the creation of BuildBoom — a virtual place where the construction community can communicate in an environment free from the distractions of unrelated content.
