About Us

Built on reputation. Driven by results.

Property, construction and the built environment is all we do, and we’re known across the industry for our creativity, connections and candidness. For more than a decade we’ve been helping our clients build reputations that make a real impact. We’d love to help you do the same. 

Connections that open doors

For nearly 20 years, we’ve been building trust across the industry. Through delivering on our promises, finding creative angles, hosting our own award-winning events, and our podcast, Around The Table, we’ve worked hard to earn our place in the conversation.

It means that journalists call us first. Influencers want to be involved. Industry leaders value our judgement. And people say yes to our invitations.

Local knowledge, global reach

With offices in London and Edinburgh and a global affiliate network, we can help you reach audiences across the UK and around the world. And with local understanding built in, we make sure your story doesn’t just reach the right people – it resonates with them too.

Thinking that helps you lead the conversation

We love a brave idea and we’re not afraid of innovation or new ways of thinking. It’s how you reach new people, get noticed and become someone they want to hear more from. But the best ideas aren’t just creative – they’re strategic too. From unique story ideas to new platforms, everything we do is built around your goals to make sure it pulls your reputation in the right direction.

A team that makes your job easier

Great work is built from a great working relationship. So we think ahead and get stuff done, without you having to ask. We suggest new things, even though they might push you out of your comfort zone. We tell you when we think something might not work. And we have fun while we do it. The result? Work we’re all proud of, a process you actually enjoy and a team that feels like an extension of your own.

Built on strong foundations

Our story began when Rachel Colgan and Kathryn Reucroft met as PR executives in the property team at Trimedia (now Grayling) back in 2007. Their careers then took separate paths – Rachel building Barratt Developments’ first in-house PR team, Kathryn building her reputation at some of London’s most influential PR agencies – before Rachel founded Building Relations in 2015, and Kathryn joined her as MD a year later.

BR was founded on the values of trust, team, respect, creativity, knowledge and integrity. Now, as a certified B Corp, those values continue to shape how we grow – putting people, responsibility and positive impact at the heart of everything we do.
