What industry professionals say about Pile Buck.
I particularly enjoy reading Pile Buck regularly because of the personal slant the writers weave within many articles. For many of us in the industry, our long time relationships with our business and professional associates represents an important segment of our personal life experiences. I consider this to be very important and something which I greatly value!”
Pile Buck is setting the bar high for modern trade publishing by cranking out high-quality print and digital editions, while also sharing strong content via its website, blogging, e-mail, and social media. I would highly recommend it to construction and design firms with a vested interest in the deep foundations and marine construction sectors.”
I have been most impressed by the evolution of Pile Buck Magazine. It has morphed into one of the best publications in the deep foundation industry. Every issue is full of good, useful information, is well designed, and is very reader-friendly. I commend you and your staff on bringing this publication to the high standard that it has achieved.”
We’ve been advertising with Pile Buck for a number of years and can’t say enough good things about the quality of the magazine, as well as the professionalism and efficiency of Alex and the team.”
As a subscriber and contributor with clients rooted in pile foundation work I can attest — Pile Buck is read with keen interest as cutting edge information in an ever smaller and competitive international construction world. I learn what’s happening real time from the respected experts. Pile Buck defines the bridge between commerce, emerging technologies, infrastructure, design and build.”
We recently added Pile Buck to our advertising portfolio. It’s a decision we’ve been extremely happy with — our ads have great visibility and the value added program Pile Buck extends to its advertisers is one of the best. The magazine is well-done and offers some of the industry’s most complete coverage. In addition, the team at Pile Buck is great to work with.”
I recommend advertising in Pile Buck to any firm that is targeting the foundations market — they are a very good value for the advertiser. They have provided great service to my clients for many years, thanks to their excellent reach within the industry and interesting articles. People actually READ Pile Buck — so the ads are noticed. Their blog is a bonus — whenever I send them a press release on behalf of one of my clients they put it up almost immediately. Alex runs a tight ship and is a pleasure to work with.”
In an industry where everyone stands on each other’s shoulders to see a little farther, Pile Buck is the publication to read, whether you’re a Professor or Greenhorn Apprentice. The professor can get a little insight to the dirty boots perspective, while the pilebuck himself or herself can see and better understand the wider industry around them. Same goes for the engineer, the manufacturer, the supplier, the contractor — everyone has a little bit to learn from one another and they can do so by reading Pile Buck.”
Pile Buck is a key independent voice and information source for the deep foundations and marine construction industries. I have been associated with this publication in many ways for over thirty years and cannot think of one that has disseminated more useful information through the newspaper, books and software for our industry. I know that I have certainly benefited from it and can recommend it without reservation.”
