Construction Industry Copywriter: Building Your Business with the Power of Words
From my studio, I specialise in writing for the construction industry. Whether you need website copy, press releases, or brochures, I can handle your written communications.
What Makes Good Construction Copywriting?
‘The construction industry is quite wide-ranging and there’s a lot of technical terms involved. Good copywriting strikes a balance between using enough technical terms to gain the audience’s trust, and being conversational and speaking to people. It doesn’t matter whether it’s business-to-business or business-to-consumer, you’re still talking to a person and I think good construction copywriting recognises that.’
