Why does the construction industry matter to you? It may be because construction doesn’t just refer to building roofs and walls, but also to the fact that you’re building your future and a place where you can be yourself. The industry is driven by many factors caused by erratic consumer demand, however, which means that it changes dramatically day to day, making it important to stay up on the current trends and issues.

To help you do this, we’ve spotted the most influential professionals throughout the construction industry in the U.S. who are building, designing, manufacturing, and publishing content relevant to the field.

Of course, this list isn’t perfect; there are thousands of experts who help people build the homes where their lives and futures will be forged - people who help make other’s dreams come true with their knowledge and expertise, as well as their strong passions and consistent efforts. However, we’re confident that the influencers we’ve listed here, selected by us carefully over several months, are true leaders whose words have the power to shape and change the industry and trends seen in the homes and buildings we work and live in.

How We Selected the Influencers

Fixr has chosen our own list of industry influencers based on:

  • Online presence, including web traffic, and how often their name or business appears online.
  • The number of social media followers and the amount of interaction with their audience. We’ve researched the activities on the most active accounts of some of the most popular social media channels such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Linkedin.
  • Contributions to other publications (blogs, news) or external organizations
  • Awards they've won and expertise in the field.

    Why You Should Know About Them

    As you already know, the construction industry doesn't drive itself. It’s the people behind the scenes who are responsible for the decisions, designs, materials, and details that shape how we view it. You should know about these influencers if you are:

  • Someone in the construction industry who needs to keep up to date with the latest designs and trends.
  • Someone who is interested in remodeling your home, or buying a new one.
  • A person interested in home design, architecture and construction.

    Keep up to date with industry influencers to see trends as they begin to emerge, which can keep your work and industry experience fresh and up to date. You’ll also see trends and fads change over time, making it easier to see what’s going to have staying power in the future.

    If you are a member of the construction or design industry, following industry influencers has added benefits, including:

  • The ability to build relationships that can further your own influence.
  • Information on brands and forums where your personal work may have relevance.
