ProBuild®

Brand strategy, identity and website for a Saudi building materials distributor, built to win the specification stage where the sale is actually decided.

(SCROLL)

ProBuild is a distributor of premium building materials and sanitary solutions, operating from Riyadh. VitrA, Ramon Soler, and the technical knowledge behind them.

In this category the sale is decided upstream, by architects and consultants. ProBuild could win at that stage. It had nothing that carried it into the room.

(02) Challenge

Win the specification

An architect writes the specification, a consultant approves it, a contractor sources against it. By the time a purchase order exists the decision is months old. ProBuild had the portfolio and the technical fluency to compete at that stage and no way to present either, so every meeting started by explaining the business from scratch. The gap was not visibility. It was credibility at the exact point where credibility gets tested.

(03) Decision

Design for specification decisions

The position

Built backwards from the architect and the consultant rather than forwards from the purchase order. We specify, we supply sets ProBuild as a partner in the technical decision, not a vendor fulfilling one.

The consequence

Every asset had to survive technical scrutiny. The identity was drawn for submittals, product literature, signage and screen, in Arabic and English as one system.

What was built

How it launched

The marketing profile went out as the primary sales instrument, with the website built in the same system and the whole thing handed over documented. Started as Storm Start™, continues as Storm Partner™.

(04) Impact

A profile that makes the technical argument before the meeting starts.

(05) Client

"Storm gave ProBuild the professional presence we needed to compete seriously in the Saudi market. The marketing profile alone changed how we show up in client meetings, it communicates our technical depth and our product portfolio in a way we were never able to do before."
