About this company

Design and Build UK was established in 2010 and has an ever growing database of loyal readers who have been organically subscribing over the last decade. The struggles which the construction industry has with converting from traditional marketing to digital marketing is getting ever more obvious as digital advertising moves on like lightening and the confidence of directors and marketing managers, has yet to be built. We combat these concerns by publishing a hard copy of Design and Build UK as well as an online version which can be tracked and measured like modern forms of marketing, bridging the gap.
