A Leading UK Construction Magazine and Marketing Agency
Design & Build UK are a bespoke marketing and PR agency centred on the construction industry that has been constantly growing since its inception in 2010. It is now a market leader in the industry, offering competitive advertising within a national publication, specialised supplement magazines highlighting leading construction companies and bodies, email marketing campaigns and subscription marketing/PR services.
The flagship for the company is the ‘Design & Build UK’ magazine, which is published monthly and has become the UK’s leading construction magazine. As of February 2020, it is achieving a client readership of approximately 290,000, and consists of the main decision makers in the construction, retail, leisure, infrastructure and energy industries, as well as public bodies.
As well as this, our readership includes key suppliers, subcontractors, architects, consultants, engineers, designers and many more.
Collaborations frequently take place, with contributions from a wide range of construction companies, architects, designers and development owners in the UK and abroad.
Each edition is available online and in print. The online issue remains available for a whole year on the Design & Build UK website, while the print copy is posted to contacts across the country, eventually reaching various hotspots like building sites, architects’ offices, subcontractors pricing rooms, NHS waiting rooms and more. The content of Design & Build UK is therefore widely available for prospective or interested professionals.
The online version of the magazine includes informative analytics that highlight how well each feature has been received amongst our industry readership. We can provide detailed statistics to our clients each month, with one of our dedicated account managers always prepared to answer any questions and provide valuable feedback for each specific company.
Furthermore, we feature insights through interviews with construction sector leaders, alongside up-to-date construction news, detailed market analysis, inside knowledge and business forecasting. We also offer exciting lead opportunities in the final pages of the magazine courtesy of our friends at www.weconnectconstruction.co.uk who provide a lead generation platform to the construction industry.
