What is the AEC Network?
The AEC Network is an informal, free of charge, global network for the construction sector. All are welcome in this network, all we ask (and this is very important) is that members do not spam other members with sales approaches. We would like to foster an atmosphere where people can openly discuss their areas of expertise and look for collaboration and do not want to discourage participation due to unwanted spam.
Our Club Purpose:
# To provide a forum where individuals or companies can teach, learn or share experiences and or expertise with others.
# To create a network of experts (or interested parties) who collaborate on ideas, projects or opportunities for mutual benefit.
# To re-connect a fragmented industry through a single portal where a broad set of views can be expressed, considered and appreciated by all.
The main forum (below) is where most discussions take place. There are also a number of groups listed in the lefthand column. 'The Marketplace' is set up specifically to advertise products and services, so please feel free to use it. Any advertising in the main forum will be removed.
