Our Construction Sector Experience

Sector knowledge. Construction PR. Measurable results.
Our specialist PR team has spent over three decades working for leading brands in construction, property, infrastructure and the built environment covering the following target audiences:
Building Product Manufacturers
Clients include:
Marley Eternit | Robust UK | Armacell | Velux | Pyroguard | Ecological Building Systems
Building product manufacturers must reach a broad and technically demanding audience. Any PR campaign needs to appeal to architects, specifiers, contractors, distributors, DIY’ers and end users. With competition strong in the market, it is important to be seen as an authoritative voice in the industry and this we can achieve through our strong media relationships.
Dragonfly PR works with some of the most respected names in building products, including Tarmac, Artex, Pyroguard, Stannah and Velux. This breadth of experience means we understand the different routes to market, the key trade media and the digital channels that drive product awareness and sales. We write accurate technical articles, manage specification-focused PR campaigns and support SEO strategies that ensure your products are found and trusted at every stage of the buying journey.
Developers
Clients include:
Torsion Developments | South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) | Manor House Developments | L&G Modular Homes
Property developers, both private and public, need to engage a wide range of audiences: investors, local communities, planning authorities, future occupiers and the wider built environment. Clear, strategic communications are essential to gaining support for planning applications, attracting funding and ensuring good relationships with stakeholders and the wider community.
Our experience with South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority on major regeneration and development projects has given Dragonfly PR an understanding of the unique communications challenges developers face. We create content that tells the story of place, ambition and economic impact – through press releases, feature articles, stakeholder communications and social media. Whether it is a landmark regeneration scheme or a mixed-use development or PBSA (Purpose Built Student Accommodation), we help our developer clients to build their brand position, generate regional, national and trade media coverage and influence stakeholders.
Contractors
Clients include:
Torsion Construction | Manor House Developments | Algeco Offsite | Horbury
Main contractors operate in a high-pressure, project-driven world where winning the next contract depends on reputation, relationships and proven delivery. PR is a powerful tool for demonstrating capability and building the trust that leads to tender invitations.
Our work with Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors has given us first-hand experience of the challenges and opportunities. We write project case studies, manage award submissions and secure media coverage in the trade press that speaks directly to your clients, supply chain and future workforce. Whether you are a regional contractor building your profile or a national or international contractor looking to raise brand awareness further, we can support you with the very best PR campaigns.
Merchants and Distributors
Clients include:
Eurocell | Accu
