1 Use online platforms

One of the easiest ways to network when you're too busy to attend events is to use online platforms that connect you with other construction professionals. For example, you can join LinkedIn groups, forums, or communities that are relevant to your niche, skills, or interests. You can also follow industry influencers, publications, or organizations on social media and engage with their content. Online platforms allow you to showcase your expertise, share your insights, and ask questions without leaving your desk or site.

2 Schedule virtual meetings

Another way to network when you're too busy to attend events is to schedule virtual meetings with people you want to connect with. You can use tools like Zoom, Skype, or Google Meet to have video calls, chats, or webinars with your existing or potential contacts. Virtual meetings are convenient, cost-effective, and flexible, as you can choose the time and frequency that suits your schedule and goals. Virtual meetings also help you build rapport, trust, and credibility with your contacts, as you can see and hear each other.

3 Ask for referrals and introductions

A third way to network when you're too busy to attend events is to ask for referrals and introductions from your existing network. You can leverage your current connections to expand your network and reach out to people who can help you with your career or projects. For example, you can ask your colleagues, clients, or suppliers to recommend or introduce you to someone they know who has the skills, experience, or knowledge you need. Asking for referrals and introductions can save you time and effort, as you can skip the cold outreach and get a warm introduction.

4 Follow up and follow through

A fourth way to network when you're too busy to attend events is to follow up and follow through with your contacts. Networking is not a one-time activity, but a continuous process of building and nurturing relationships. Therefore, you need to follow up with your contacts regularly and keep them updated on your progress, achievements, or challenges. You also need to follow through on your promises, such as sending a resource, making an introduction, or providing feedback. Following up and following through can help you stay in touch, show your interest and value, and create opportunities for collaboration.

5 Be strategic and selective

A fifth way to network when you're too busy to attend events is to be strategic and selective about your networking activities. You don't have to network with everyone or attend every event that comes your way. Instead, you should focus on the quality and relevance of your network and the events you choose. You should network with people who share your vision, values, or goals, and who can offer you support, guidance, or opportunities. You should also attend events that are aligned with your niche, skills, or interests, and that can help you learn, grow, or connect. Being strategic and selective can help you network more effectively and efficiently, without wasting your time or energy.

Allocate time at the start of the year to create a planner following the below steps: 1. Set your networking target for the year, it must be measurable and compliments your other professional targets (example: grow my network of investors by 20%) 2. Identify target audience to network with 3. Research events taking place this year, attendees (I would contact organisers, they usually keep track of this data, if not published on their websites.) 4. Decide on the time you will allocate this year for networking (Number of calls, events, seminars, etc) 5. Evaluate your allocated time against your annual target. 6. Identify events and add them to your calender. 7. Make sure you share your networking plan with felow professionals, they will help
