Hi Guys/Gals,

Am setting up my own construction company and branching out from drywall and plastering.....

Can any of you guys suggest any cool/funky names for the company...I have had some suggested to me which are below..

Southdowns construction ltd
Bluewave construction ltd
Bluefin construction ltd
Fox drywall and construction ltd ( a favourite )

Absolute construction ltd
Brightwave construction ltd

What do you guys think of these?

Please help me out guys as need to get it done asap as I have some work coming up and new clients I want to approach.

Choose the name which you want...It's your decision

It really is up to you mate.

I hear there is loads of work going in Folkestone

Good luck with it.

'Foxbuild'..?
It's got the name and what you do
Short and snappy: memorable
Easy to answer phone with
Domain available
There are Fox Builders, and Fox & Son, Builders, but way oop north. Only Fox Builders is in Companies House.

 

"Southdowns" it has more of an establishment feel...
"bluewave" and such like seem to be more of a passing ly by night

I reckon I would pick that from your list as a customer.

Makes you wonder whether a double barelled name might help
The "permanent" in "leeds permanent" building society had a really good feel to it.

So maybe try some second words that give a feeling of permanence and
robustness

"Southdowns Manor construction" or "Southdowns Vale construction" or
"Southdowns Castle Construction"

Thankyou Kimmrunner, didn't have to pick my name, it was my grandfathers business, I reserected it after he passed away many years ago.

Fox drywall and construction ltd ( a favourite )

My favourite too...

 

[Mikeyg47]

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies...

Am really not sure now which to choose...

I like the fox one as I think its short and catchy...and could be some cool logo's but Southdowns construction is good too...

Then there is Bluefin.... HMMMM

This is not an easy choice is it?

Anymore ideas?

Use a name that is warm and memorable. If you are into Fox , make it RedFox or similar. BTW I will like to do your website

 

[Fit To Defend]

Assured Construction Ltd, Rest Assured your plans are safe with us!

 

[Calypso]

I don't believe the name will matter, as long as your product/service is good and your reputation grows.

I don't believe the name will matter

Cowboy Builders Ltd?
Pikey & Chav Builders?
Cash Only Tarmac?

Hi Mike,

I think Dean is absolutely right - how important is a name.

If you look at the names of many of the successful companies, they don't mean much...as I mentioned in your post in the Marketing & PR forum, it is more about a name that is easily remembered.

Take Dean's "Calypso" company - the name has a nice feel to it, brings back memories of my time in Jamaica, and is easily remembered.

Good luck,
Stephen

Cowboy Builders Ltd?
Pikey & Chav Builders?
Cash Only Tarmac?

Bodgeit & Scarper Ltd

 

[TIMI]

Grabbit & Runne Construction ?
Flybie Knight Builders ?
Slappiton Painters and Decorators ?
..........of course I am joking

Get a name that is
1. memorable ,
2.makes you feel good and proud
( hey, if your beloved wife's name is Nancy ; doesn't mean though that you should name your business Nancy Builders, gerrit ?)

 

[cmrule]

A name that will be near the start of the building section in the yellow pages perhaps???.

 

[estwig]

I did that one year with YP
We was 1st put us on the first page, so even more time wasters could find us...........excellent!!!!!

 

[Mikeyg47]

Thanks for all your replies

I will use a catchy and memorable name but there are now some good ones been suggested...

I like Assured building construction too

Now to think about logos to go with them....

Jeez...my head hurts!!!
