Alright, faithful readers, it’s time to launch a new feature here at N.C. Construction Law, Policy & News, a little something I’m christening the “Construction Tweets of the Week.”
The construction industry at all levels — local, state and national — enjoys an increasingly vibrant presence on Twitter. I aim to showcase some of the voices that left an impression on me in the preceding week, as well as to facilitate ongoing discussion, whether in the Comments section of this blog and/or in the Twitterverse beyond.
You’ll note the tweets embedded here are fully interactive, with hotlinks to each Tweep’s profile, linked content and “Follow” button. The reply, retweet and “favorite” functions are also fully operational. Click early, click often, and become a part of the Construction Twitterati.
Without further ado, here are the Construction Tweets of the Week for the week ending Saturday, October 5, 2013:
