Most construction companies claim they “do great work and have strong relationships.” But if your business vanished tomorrow, would anyone really notice—or care?

In this episode of Construction Genius, I sit down with Justin Bieganek, founder of Mercury Creative Group, to unpack what branding really means for construction companies—and why it’s about a lot more than your logo or website.

If you're frustrated with being treated like a commodity, constantly undercut on price, or struggling to attract the right people to join your team—your brand might be the problem. And the good news? Fixing it starts with asking better questions.

🔍 What You’ll Learn:

• Why “we do quality work” isn’t a differentiator in construction

• The one powerful question that reveals your company’s real value

• How to uncover your essential value—and why it matters more than your mission statement

• How internal misalignment kills credibility with clients and recruits

• Why consistent messaging across field and office builds trust

• How to create a brand guide your team will actually use

• Where to start when your brand feels outdated or unclear

 

👷 Who Should Listen:

• General contractors and trade contractors

• Construction CEOs and executives

• Marketing and business development leaders in AEC

• Anyone tired of competing solely on price
