During the Great Recession, laid off engineer, Rebekah Morris moved to Phoenix Arizona with no job, no network, and no prospects. As she looked around for a resource to help her learn about the local construction industry, she was stumped that she couldn’t find one. ‘Who has the work?’, she couldn’t find the right resource to answer that question. So, she thought that if she was looking for a resource, maybe somebody else was too and she might just be the person to create it, calling it Arizona Builder’s Exchange, or AZBEX.

Rebekah picked up another victim of the great recession, laid off architect in training, Rachel Pratt, to cover the design of this resource and the two women challenged the depressed economy and came out with a brilliant product:  the digital Magazine, AZBEX.

After perfecting this innovative resource for the industry, Rebekah added events to her bag of tricks and got great feedback. But there was something missing…

Information was constantly being published but there was no archive to reference it. So, the database was born, and Rachel took the tool from great to fantastic. Along the way, Rebekah and Rachel have built a team of industry experts who can find out what is really going on, who’s involved, and present market information in a way our clients can understand and take action.
