IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Copywriting
For construction firms and building-product businesses whose copy needs to explain technical detail without losing the reader.

Drafting

WHAT WE NEED TO START
Your writing brief.
Existing copy, service or product specifications, verified claims and access to a technical reviewer.
SCOPE, TIMING & COST
We agree the deliverables, timetable and fee before starting. Advertising spend and any additional production or licensing are identified separately where relevant.
Discuss the scope and budgetPUBLISHED CLIENT WRITING / RP SLIGHT & SONS
Explain the news without overstating it.
We wrote website articles for RP Slight & Sons using information supplied by the business. The client reviewed each piece before publication. The subjects included council framework appointments and acceptance onto Bield Housing & Care’s Repairs and Maintenance DPS.
EXCERPT FROM THE PUBLISHED BIELD ARTICLE
Read the published client article (opens in a new tab)There are two stages: acceptance onto the system, followed by tendering for specific opportunities. We have completed the first stage.
How we approached the writing.
- Explain the terminology. Introduce the Dynamic Purchasing System before using the abbreviation DPS.
- Keep the status precise. Acceptance creates opportunities to tender; it does not establish that a contract has been won.
- Give the reader useful detail. Set out the service categories and what happens next, with the client checking the underlying information.
The council article separately explains the appointment and the maintenance work it covers. Read both pieces to see how a technical milestone becomes a clear update for customers and project partners.
WORKED WRITING EXAMPLE
Make the brief, contribution and evidence clear.
This example uses Crafters’ approved Bruntsfield project record. It demonstrates how to structure a case study; it is not a quotation from the client.
Bruntsfield Construction’s previous website made its services and projects difficult to browse. Crafters designed and built a replacement with clearer navigation and more space for project photography. Bruntsfield reported that it better represented the business and made its work easier to showcase.
- The problem: identify what the old website made difficult, rather than calling it “outdated” without explanation.
- The contribution: name the design and build work Crafters delivered. Bruntsfield remains responsible for the construction shown.
- The evidence: attribute the feedback to the client. Do not turn it into a measured conversion or revenue claim.
For a building project, use the same structure with your own scope, decisions and approved evidence. Keep other contributors and photography credits visible.
FROM YOUR EXPERTISE TO THE PAGE
What should your construction copy explain?
Construction copywriting turns your team’s knowledge into pages customers can use. We write from interviews and approved source material, with technical claims checked by your appointed reviewer before publication.
| Copy you need | What the reader should understand | What we need from you |
|---|---|---|
| Service pages | The work you take on, who it suits, the process and how to enquire. | Actual scope, working area, common questions and relevant projects. |
| Project stories | The brief, your contribution and what was delivered. | Project notes, approved images, credits and permission to name the client. |
| Building-product information | The intended application, limitations and where to find the specification. | Current product documents and a technical contact to approve claims. |
| Marketing materials | The message and next action for that particular audience. | The format, available space, offer and approved supporting facts. |
The LTJ example shows our project captions and social presentation. For building-product copy, we work from current manufacturer documents and your technical team’s approval. Copywriting does not provide product certification. See the LTJ Architecture work.

Plan your construction websiteBuilding-product information
Make supplied specifications easier to understand. Your technical reviewer will need to approve the evidence for any performance, certification or compliance claims.
Discuss product copyProject stories and campaign copy
We can work from project notes, conversations with your team and approved photographs. Choose a one-off piece or an ongoing content plan.

Copywriting: useful answers.
Can you write from our existing material?
Yes. Existing pages, project notes and conversations with your team can form the brief. We identify missing detail and work with a technical reviewer to check services, terminology and claims before approval.
How is website copy different from a brochure?
Website readers need to find the relevant service quickly, assess evidence and take a clear next step. Each page needs a distinct purpose, descriptive headings and useful links. Brochure copy follows the structure and space of the printed document.
