FULL SUITE AGENCY
Construction PR agency
Our PR offering includes a full service suite – messaging, thought leadership, CSR and ESG, integrated comms and BD support.
As a property PR agency, we’ve worked with housebuilders, commercial property developers, contractors, BNG providers, agents, structural engineers, architects, eco and renewables specialists, planning consultants, specialist lawyers, safety teams and local authorities – every type and size of business across the built environment sector.
We understand how schemes progress through planning and development, and the importance of clear and effective communication with communities, decision-makers, investors and other stakeholders.
WHAT WE DO
Our construction, built environment and property PR services
We handle all aspects of PR and marketing in the built environment sector, from public consultation to website development, crisis management and thought leadership.
Media relations
We develop news, expert commentary, case studies and feature ideas that secure relevant coverage across the full gamut of media, including those with the highest domain authority for effective digital PR.
Planning and stakeholder communications
We analyse potential risks and objections, identify influential audiences and develop clear communications to support planning applications, consultations and constructive stakeholder relationships.
Thought leadership
We position directors and technical specialists as authoritative industry voices through expert articles, media commentary, research, interviews and speaking opportunities.
Crisis communications
We provide responsive, fact-led communications support during planning disputes, accidents, delays, disruption and other sensitive issues affecting a site or development.
Website development
Creating websites which reflect your brand and support your business objectives, with SEO and digital PR in mind.
ESG and CSR
In a sector where decisions have impact on carbon emissions, resource use, biodiversity, communities and economies, a credible ESG and CSR policy can help meet regulatory and planning expectations, strengthen reputation and improve competitiveness.
INTEGRATED CAMPAIGNS
Specialist built environment PR
Our strategic, integrated construction PR campaigns deliver client objectives from increased sales to securing planning permission; attracting investment to developing stakeholder engagement; tender and framework support to handling sustainability issues.
We understand the challenges the sector faces and have worked extensively on planning, training and handling sensitive incidents which may make or break a project or a business.
We have the expertise to communicate through them to support commercial objectives.
New scheme support
For developers planning new residential or commercial schemes, our approach is to establish your objectives and timeline, then move into risk analysis:
Who are the key protagonists and local action groups, including social media forums?
What are the likely objections?
What were and are the views raised during previous developments?
Who do we specifically need to communicate with?
We take control of communications in order to ensure your messages are heard, engage with key stakeholders to inform, educate and influence, and take an honest, open, and professional approach to communications to support any planning application.
Community and stakeholder engagement
Community and stakeholder engagement is important for built environment PR. We communicate and engage using a host of tools including media packs, news releases and statements, website/microsite development, social media, meetings and site visits with key influencers, advertising, printed communication such as newsletters and brochures and public exhibitions.
We have worked on varied campaigns including the development of a county-wide household waste infrastructure programme, the build and opening of a global retail brand, a controversial new crematorium and the re-siting of a football club.
Our specialists understand the complexities of this sector and the need to carefully handle public opinion.

FAQs
What does a specialist construction PR agency do?
A construction PR agency helps construction and other built environment businesses communicate with the people who are important to their business.
That communication can be by any platform – website, trade, specialist regional or broadcast media, e-marketing, thought leadership, events, project launches, stakeholder engagement and award submissions.
In this high-risk sector, it can also help you prepare for and manage issues and crises.
Can you help with planning and stakeholder communications?
Yes, absolutely.
We can identify stakeholders, research likely concerns, develop messages and coordinate communications through consultation materials, media activity, websites, social media, meetings, exhibitions and direct updates.
How much does construction PR cost?
Costs depend on the objectives, project complexity, audiences and level of ongoing support required. We provide both retained campaigns and defined project work, with a tailored proposal following a free initial consultation.
Do you work with property developers as well as contractors?
Yes. We work with developers, housebuilders, contractors, architects, surveyors, planners, property agents, investment businesses and specialist suppliers operating throughout the built environment.
How do you handle PR around planning applications including community engagement?
We begin by establishing the facts, risks, stakeholders and agreed position. We then coordinate messages, media responses and stakeholder communications, monitoring developments closely and adapting the approach as the situation evolves.
