Buildipedia is one of my favourite web resources for the construction sector.  I’ve been a subscriber of their articles for a while now and I was waiting for an opportunity to share this resource with our community.

In the 14th episode of the Construction Industry Podcast, I had a great chat with Kristin Dispenza, Managing Editor of this hugely popular website.  Buildipedia covers the entire world of design and construction with an online network of high-definition videos, interviews, photo galleries, case studies, reports, and social networking.

On episode 13 of the Construction Industry Podcast I share with you the audio portion of a fantastic webcast put out by the Construction Marketing Association on the topic of using YouTube to promote your services and products to the construction industry.

In this webcast, they had both Neil Brown, the founder of the Construction Marketing Association (CMA), Brian Reuhl, Social Media Manager for CMA, and Brian Stokoe, Social Media Program Manager for Caterpillar.

If you’ve listened to previous episodes of the podcast, you will see that I really like the work that the guys over at the Construction Marketing Association are doing.  They were very generous in letting me share this audio with you.  This is the audio-only portion of the webcast, so if you get a chance, use the links below and watch the video portion of the webcast as well.
