Five decades of construction.

One specialist agency.

CDP are specialist designers, writers, illustrators and animators. We’ve been doing what we do since 1969. 

Our focus is the delivery of specifier-facing marketing solutions for our construction industry clients.

Originally based in London, CDP was founded in 1969 by Peter, Barry and Mick (a chartered builder, a quantity surveyor and a graphic designer respectively).

They saw an opportunity for good quality technical product literature in the construction industry and started creating material for building product manufacturers who wanted to get their names at the top of architects’ specification sheets.

Now based at the idyllic Lakeview Stables in the heart of the Kent countryside, we are still passionate about producing quality technical material.

Whilst we are experts in design for print, we also produce a range of marketing collateral including websites, apps, CPD presentations, sectional and 3D illustrations, animations and fly-thrus, branding, exhibitions, plus all the other associated marketing services work. Nearly all of it aimed at getting specifiers engaged with our clients’ products.

We work with organisations of every size and reach. From multinational businesses operating across continents to start-ups we’ve supported as they’ve grown into established outfits.

Our project scope is equally broad, spanning one-off briefs, retainers, ongoing updates and major campaigns alike.

Over 650 construction industry clients have trusted us with their marketing, many for years at a time, including one relationship that has run uninterrupted for over 40 years.

CDP is led by Managing & Creative Director Phil Chandler, who has spent almost 25 years guiding building product manufacturers through the complexities of specification-led marketing.

During this time, CDP has built long-term relationships with brands like British Gypsum, Marley and Saint-Gobain.

Phil’s approach is rooted in a simple belief: that construction marketing only works when it’s built on a genuine understanding of the product, the specifier and how buildings actually get built.
