According to a 2013 survey by the Pew Research Center, 92 percent of Americans 30 to 49 years old and 83 percent of 50 to 64 year old adults are Internet users. And today, many people are discovering the convenience and efficiency that online equipment auctions provide.

Online equipment auctions allow sellers to get their idle or underutilized equipment in front of a global audience. And buyers can choose from a wide selection of items for construction, mining, oil and gas and agriculture without leaving the comfort of their office or home.

With the New Year in full swing, it's time to look back at the trends that shaped Canada's construction industry in 2013 and and make predictions for the coming year. From mining and road building struggles to an upswing in forestry and oil and gas activity and Tier 4 engine adoption, there is a lot to cover.
