About the Brand Constructors

The Brand Constructors is a division of Design the Planet, and was spurred by our owner’s experience working with local construction companies. After 11 years of designing websites, brand-marketing tools, and logos for over 100 different industries, the Brand Constructors was launched to take care of the construction industry, a group that we enjoy working with and who understands the need to have us around.

We learned from our experiences during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita how powerful the communication tools we build can be for helping our construction clients keep in touch with their personnel and their customers. So, we began to construct processes that streamline their brand communications both internally and externally. These processes proved to be exceptionally effective at increasing their ability to win contracts and attract qualified employees.

So, whether it’s award submittals, building-in web site functionality, crafting tradeshow display and collateral materials, RallyPointOnline.com, or improving the RPF submittal process, we want to help our clients streamline operations and become more profitable. Construction industry pros understand sub-contracting work to experts, and they’re usually awfully nice people to work with during complex projects. But more importantly, since the construction industry is the backbone of our national economy, we believe quality companies with strong brands make the communities they work in better places to work and to live.
