Aconex, the world’s largest provider of online collaboration solutions to the construction and engineering industries, today announced that the company’s product was recognized as a residential category winner of the 2011 Constructech Top Products Awards.  The annual Constructech Top Products Awards honor technology solutions that have demonstrated the greatest innovations geared toward the residential construction market.

Judging is conducted by the editorial team at Constructech magazine and the products selected are based on various criteria, including the product’s overall usefulness and uniqueness to the construction industry.  In addition, the editors judge on the customer growth rate for the product over a period of years.

“Technology solutions are becoming more efficient, as are the companies who are implementing them,” said Mike Carrozzo, chief editor, Constructech magazine. “We continue to see a demand for smarter, more efficient solutions, as homebuilders look for technology that will not only help them to serve their customers better, but also keep costs at a minimum. Constructech’s winning products of 2011 are serving this purpose, and the companies who bring each product to market are striving to meet that demand.”

“We are honored to receive a Constructech Top Products award,” said Leigh Jasper, CEO of Aconex. “From the inception of Aconex, we have strived to create best-of-breed online collaboration solutions that address the demands of developers, contractors, owners, construction managers and project management firms, and that support users such as document controllers in providing efficient, professional service.  This recognition is significant affirmation that we are achieving these goals and that the construction industry is embracing the full power of collaboration technologies.”
