About me
I run a niche consultancy business, pwcom2.0, focused on PR, marketing and social media for the construction industry, reflecting 20 years work in AEC marcoms and more than ten years involvement with collaborative ICT (some of which is today termed Web 2.0 or social media).
I worked for BIW Technologies, one of the UK's leading providers of SaaS-based construction collaboration technologies (AKA 'project extranets') from 2000-2009 (before that, I ran the first iteration of my own PR and marketing business, following 11 years with the Halcrow group and Tarmac Professional Services).
I wrote the UK's first guide to these technologies, published in 2005, and have been involved in various IT related initiatives by, among others, the Network of Construction Collaboration Technology Providers and Constructing Excellence.
With three others, I was also one of the co-organisers of Be2camp - a growing online network that I continue to manage today and which I am pleased to link to the AEC Network.
I also write about AEC technologies, particularly in Software-as-a-Service, on my blog at www.extranetevolution.com. More recently, I started a new PR/marketing/Web2.0/AEC blog, as part of a new website to support pwcom2.0.
