“Successful networking is all about relationships, not “links.” The goal of the Design and Construction Network is to develop mutually beneficial relationships both online and in person.” – Tim Klabunde, Founder

Welcome to the Design and Construction Network (DCN)! Our Network is a group of industry leaders that are serious about redefining online networking as a tool that builds real business relationships. To that end, this website contains a variety of links and resources to help our members build relationships and win more work. If you are interested in joining the Design and Construction Network just follow this link to our LinkedIn page and click “Join Now.”

What We Do

We connect with others in the local industry through LinkedIn tools, we discuss through posted questions, we share information, we help each other succeed, and we host Happy Hours. (Ok, so the Happy Hours might be what most people know us for). The important thing in all of this is that we are building relationships that build success, both personally and professionally.

What We Don’t Do

Successful networking comes down to relationships, not “links.” As a result the members of the Network do not simply collect business cards to stack on our desks. In the same way, we do not link to others on LinkedIn for the sake of having a bunch of links. We know that the internet is only one of many networking tools should be used everyday to succeed at networking.

Membership

Membership in the Network is free and is maintained through the LinkedIn group the Design and Construction Network. If you would like to join the Network all we ask is that you are in the Design and Construction industry and that you are serious about doing more than just “linking” to other people.
