Construction telemarketing services

Our construction telemarketing agency has the data, the skills, and the experience to help you reach key decision makers, maximise supply chain agreements, and increase sales volumes. 

Use their knowledge of the construction industry to establish new business relationships and take advantage of quality opportunities. 

7% of the UK’s GDP comes from construction. Any project requires a multi-step procurement process to source suppliers, contractors and subcontractors.

To this end, there are five main procurement routes:

• Standard contract.
• Design and build.
• Construction management.
• Managed contract.
• Public procurement.

The route chosen should match the long-term plans of the client. Among the considerations are:

• speed,
• price,
• quality,
• project-specific constraints,
• potential risks,
• a property’s ownership, and
• funding.

It used to be that most building companies existed just on referrals, networking, and companies just contacting them out of the blue, but that is changing.

Several companies are now looking into telemarketing lead generation and advertising. Lead generation calls are on the rise.  This is due to its historical success as a marketing tool. You can find tenders faster using telesales and construction telemarketing.

Challenges facing the construction industry

Construction in the UK faces many challenges:

Supply shortages

Building materials shortages are a continuing issue, and the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) warns it will only worsen.

Lumber, steel, and lighting were cited as the materials most in shortage at the beginning of 2021.

Additionally, current timber production cannot meet global demand. This is exacerbated in the UK, where other countries offer a higher rate, pushing us down.

As a result, UK firms need to be really conscious of their project and supply chain management.

Keeping up with the latest industry news can help to avoid issues, as knowing the latest information helps you make the right decisions when ordering new materials.

Net zero

In an effort to meet Net Zero goals by 2050, every industry needs to reduce its carbon emissions and move to renewable energy. 

For buildings to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, better building materials and green space preservation are necessary. 

Building in the UK is among the most innovative in the world, embracing sustainable designs. 

This offers excellent opportunities to companies offering environmentally-conscious products and solutions.
