Before a Crisis: Build a Strong Defense

Develop a Construction Crisis Playbook covering jobsite incidents, safety violations, labor disputes, or environmental issues
Draft legally reviewed, pre-approved media statements and internal messages
Define spokesperson roles and media protocols for field crews and office leadership
Identify vulnerabilities in public perception or project communications
Build goodwill with proactive PR—highlighting community involvement, project success, and employee stories

When a construction-related crisis makes headlines, response time and message control are critical. From on-site accidents to subcontractor disputes or social media backlash, our team works fast to protect your brand and provide clarity across multiple audiences. We support your response by:

Creating direct, professional public statements
Managing media inquiries and coordinating site access or comment
Aligning internal messaging across field teams, office staff, and stakeholders
Serving as your spokesperson or supporting your leadership in media interactions

After a Crisis: Rebuild Trust and Reputation

Construction companies can’t afford to stay silent after a crisis—they need to show progress, accountability, and leadership. We help shift the conversation from “what happened” to “how it’s being fixed,” positioning your company as a responsible, forward-looking partner. We guide your recovery through:

Messaging that highlights improvements and preventive measures
Executive visibility through media placements and industry commentary
Community and client reassurance campaigns
Ongoing storytelling that restores brand confidence and market perception

Address concerns around job security, safety, workload, and reputation
Script FAQs and message templates for team leaders and supervisors
