Brochure Design For Builders

Brochure Design For Builders Does Not Have To Be Expensive

Brochure design for builders is an essential part of marketing as people want to see the kind of work you have done.  

They want to look at the pictures of some of your houses, bungalows or flats, some of the before during and after images.

The photographs cannot be stock photos but high quality photographs that will grab attention.

The problem is that there are hundreds of creative design agencies in the UK to choose from.

Just pop some details into the form opposite and we will get you quotes from brochure designers that have experience in marketing for builders. 

Why Are Brochures Needed?

Brochures are an essential marketing tool for any building company, large or small.  

They add an air of professionalism to your business.  When you visit a client, providing one gives the you a lot more credibility.  

You can showcase your projects (new roofs, loft extensions,  new build houses) so that prospective clients can get a feel for your work.  

From leading building companies like Taylor Wimpy and Redrow, down to Bob the builder all need corporate brochures.

Having a few different brochures is a good thing, rather than putting everything into one brochure.  You may wish to showcase work you have done for specific industries such as commercial building or building of hospitals.  Showcasing large projects in one brochure and smaller projects in the other.

How Much Does Brochure Design Cost?

Brochure design prices will depend on a number of factors.  The number of pages, the number of images/pictures, the fees charged by the design agency.  

Since all brochure design agencies have their own profit margins which means that costs will vary.

There are a few things that will effect the cost of your brochure:

• How many pages will your brochure need?
• How many different brochures did you want?
• Did you want any additional leaflets or flyers?
• Do you do any printing or would you outsource it?
• What is the level of skill of your designers?

Most building companies have small brochures, of maybe 4-5 pages, any maybe a couple of different brochures showcasing different building and construction projects.

Since we live in a digital world, you may well require any hard copy brochures and flyers to have a PDF version that can be e-mailed to prospective clients, whether commercial or private.

The brochures of course would need to fit into your brand so that there is a marketing consistency.

Choosing A Brochure Designer

When considering brochure design agencies, it is wise to select one that has done design for companies like yours before. 

As there are thousands of designers around the UK, it is only logical to go with one that knows the construction industry.  That is where we as a creative marketing comparison website can help.

If they have construction marketing experience, they should be a good match.

One thing to remember is that all brochure design agencies are privately owned.  They want your business whether they are a god match to you or not.  

We feel that working with a local brochure design company where possible.  There is a loyalty that comes with working with someone that is local, particularly to be able to have a face to face meeting.

This is why it is essential to compare companies, so you can find the right brochure design agency for your building company.

Questions To Ask The Brochure Designer

There are possibly many questions you could have a designer, but here are a few that spring to mind:

• What building companies have you designed brochure or leaflets for in the past?
• How experienced are your design team?
• Do you have access to a local photographer to photo the houses we produce?
• How long do you think it will take to produce the brochures?
• Do you compare quotes on printing or do it yourself?

These are the immediate questions that come to mind, but you may have other questions you would to ask the graphic designer.

Compare A Few Quotes

As with all marketing, brochure design for builders does need to be compared.  The reason is that all brochure design agencies set their own fees, therefore brochure design prices will vary considerably.

There are a few things that effect the cost of the brochure, including location.

A brochure designer in London will charge more than one in Liverpool as their staffing costs and rent for offices will be higher.  Each brochure designer is a private company and sets their own profit margins.

We want to help you find the ‘right’ brochure designer for your building company, not necessarily the cheapest agency.

Choosing the top agency on Google is no guarantee of getting the best brochure, neither is choosing the most expensive agency.
