When the motion startsDay 1
01/ the buyer
Who decides in construction? several roles, one purchase
A client choice in construction involves more people than the one who asked for a conversation.
Module 01 / 05
Large buying groups
Forrester's 2026 State of Business Buying reports that the typical buying decision now includes 13 internal stakeholders and nine external influencers.
Module 02 / 05
Commercial and bid teams
Commercial directors and bid managers decide who is invited to tender and who is shortlisted.
Module 03 / 05
Technical and operations
Engineers, project directors and site leaders judge whether a product or service works on a live project.
Module 04 / 05
Procurement and supply chain
Supply chain teams check accreditation and references, and platforms such as Constructionline offer subcontractor accreditations and construction supply chain management for main contractors.
Module 05 / 05
Clients and funders
Developers, housing providers and public bodies set requirements that flow down to every supplier.
Forrester's research puts 13 internal stakeholders and nine external influencers in a typical decision.
We map the roles at each named account before the first message goes out, because construction has long tender cycles and committee-led supplier choices.
02/ who to reach
Which construction segment should you start with? segment by the problem you solve
Start where your offer removes an urgent, owned problem, then widen.
Our ideal customer profile method decides which segment comes first.
For the wider construction service, see our construction marketing agency page.
03/ timing
Construction buying signals reach accounts when something changes
A signal tells you an account is more likely to care now, so outreach can be specific.
Module 01 / 05
Public tenders
The Find a Tender service is for searching and applying for high value public sector contracts, so published notices show who is buying and when.
Module 02 / 05
Procurement rules
The government's Procurement Act 2023 guidance covers all aspects of the Procurement Act 2023, and changes to it reshape how public work is won.
Module 03 / 05
Planning approvals
Approved schemes show where work is about to start and which teams will be buying.
Module 04 / 05
Hiring
Adverts for bid, commercial and sustainability roles show where a contractor is investing.
Module 05 / 05
Website visits
Company-level visits to capability and case pages show research at a named contractor.
Our signal-based selling guide covers how signals are weighted and routed to sellers.
04/ how it runs
How a programme runs motion first, system around it
Start with named accounts
We agree the first segment, build the account list and start real conversations while the rest is set up.
Map the buying group
For each priority account we map the roles that own the problem, review the risk and sign.
Switch on signals and channels
Signals, sequences, content and ads are built around the motion that is already running.
Score and hand over
Engagement is scored by account, and sales receives context, not just a name.
Review and widen
We keep what produces meetings, cut what does not, and move to the next segment.
Our lead scoring guide explains how engagement becomes a sales priority.
05/ rules
Construction marketing and the rules that apply what the sources say
Public work and building safety shape what buyers ask suppliers to show.
Module 01 / 04
Public procurement
The government's Procurement Act 2023 guidance documents are written for contracting authorities, so public buyers follow them.
Module 02 / 04
Building safety
The Building Safety Regulator says it regulates higher-risk buildings and works to raise safety standards for England's buildings, so safety evidence matters on those projects.
Module 03 / 04
Corporate bodies
The ICO says you can email or text any corporate body, while sole traders and some partnerships are treated as individuals.
Module 04 / 04
Legitimate interests
B2B outreach to named people usually rests on legitimate interests, which the ICO sets out as a three-part test.
We work with your reviewers and do not give legal or regulatory advice.
