ACE Kudos by Construction Business Author

If you read last week’s Newsletter, you may have been influenced to add all of Sawyer’s recent construction business reads to your list for 2025. Chad Prinkey, author of Well Built: How the Top 2% of Construction Contractors Create Superior Value, Profits and Excellence gave Sawyer’s review and the ACE Club newsletter a shout out on his LinkedIn .

Professional Development - Networking 101 with Emma

One thing that Sawyer and I have discussed offering to the ACE world are professional development tools that are not always learned on the job site or via CAD, but are equally valuable when building a career in the AEC industry.

Today I’m sharing networking tips that I have found helpful. Give one of these a try if you are interested in building your professional network or just want a refresh for 2025!

  • Add project stakeholders on LinkedIn as you meet them so you can keep in touch and see what they’re building long after the project is completed (under budget and on time, of course).

  • Reach out to a former classmate, colleague, or boss/manager. Ask them to catch up or grab a coffee/drink. Go even further by setting a reminder to check in with them in a few months to keep the conversation going.

  • Join a professional club, nerd out with other developing professionals, and make friends in the industry. Ask your company to sponsor a membership to one of these networks OR join ACE Club for free and meet extra cool AEC professionals (no bias here).

Networking can also be a powerful tool when searching for a new job or career path. If you’re interested in getting more come chat with us at the next ACE Club Meeting. If you can’t make the meeting shoot us a note at [email protected] or [email protected].
