About Us

Construction is an industry that is constantly evolving. What is built today must be able to stand for years to come, something the leaders we feature understand all too well. At Construction in Focus, we make it our mission to keep our finger on the pulse of this dynamic world, keeping you up to date on the latest in materials, methods, and technologies for better building. We also stay on top of green initiatives and developments in labour, workplace culture, safety, and PPE, and check in with key figures from leading associations and trade bodies to get their takes.

Of course, it’s all ultimately about the building, and we are proud to highlight unique structures and architectural landmarks that have made a splash on the built environment. Our mission is to keep you connected with the trends and developments that shape the future. As industry leaders continue to innovate, we are here to share their insights and successes. It’s all about creating lasting structures that define our world, and we are proud to showcase the people and innovations that make it possible.

Our Values

Integrity

At FMG, our editorial team is kept deliberately independent from the sales side to ensure journalistic integrity, and we are thus able to draw on different voices and perspectives. “We have independent journalists so that our readers have engaging articles that speak to them,” Jeff explains. “We hire people from all over the world because we want different, diverse perspectives.”

Empowerment

At FMG Publishing, Inc., “every voice in the company matters,” as Founder Jeff Hocken says. With an open and supportive leadership approach, employees are empowered to share their ideas and everyone’s contributions are valued. The result is a team made up of people who are passionate about what they do, who are interested in the world around them, and who can’t wait to share your story.

Leadership

FMG is firmly committed to celebrating the best in business, and this includes shining a spotlight on Economic Development Organizations, Associations, Unions, and Conventions in the sectors we represent. We value the thought leadership that comes with the responsibility of running these organizations and want to ensure our magazines speak to the issues that are most relevant.

Accountability

With a business model that has always supported remote communication, FMG has been green from the start. We aim to highlight organizations, initiatives, and technologies that are doing their part for the environment, and FMG walks the walk. We work to minimize our carbon footprint in all areas as we grow, focusing on digital subscriber growth and reducing our environmental impact not only by using less paper and ink, but by dramatically reducing the environmental cost of logistics involved in distribution.
