Construction and the built environment

Public relations and public affairs services for building contracting and contractors

Building contractors and subcontractors have specific public relations requirements at different times in the building cycle. Whether it is raising awareness to ensure you get on tender lists or presentation training to ensure you secure the project, we understand what you need, and we have over two decades' of experience in providing these kinds of support to many of the industry's leading organisations.

 

Corporate promotion 

All contractors and subcontractors have to go through the often arduous tender process, but before that, they have to get on the shortlist in the first place. Most projects receive expressions of interest from numerous contractors interested in doing the work, and a typcial short list would only be six companies.

 

We understand this process and how to raise awareness and build brands to ensure that your company is percieved in the right light, its past acheivements are fully appreciated, and your reputation fully undertsttod, giving you ample opportunity for being included on the tender list.

 

Once on the tender list, you will hopefully make the shortlist and will make a presentation. We can help you in devising that presentation, training staff that need assistance, and providing a contructive forum for you to proactice the presentations, to ensure you have the best chance of being succesful.

 

Once working on a project, we can also assist with providing community relations where a project requires. Our expertise in delivering community relations are award-winning, and can range from newsletters and local meetings, through to manning help lines and handling difficult residents.

         

Marketing support  

Although most contractors are very good at site profiling, many still fail to take the opportunities presented by a prominant site. We can help in ensuring full advantage is taken, ensuring your company name is prominent to all passing traffic. 

 

We can also assist with the various promotions associated with the contract which would benefit the marketing of your company. These include the various events and ceremonies, such as 'sod-cutting', foundation stone laying, 'topping-out', completion and opening. We can assist in-house teams in approaches to these events, assisting with organisation. We have handled events involving all of the Royal Family, and many politicians, even including foreign heads of state.
