APPROACH
The redesign began with auditing the existing brand as well as collaterals, clarifying its growth ambitions and its role so far in building community-scale residential developments within Nigeria's housing market.
Redesigned the logo to reflect core construction principles such as structure, precision and modularity, drawing inspiration from the brick and mortar systems.
Through a series of workshops with key stakeholder, we identified community, sustainability and the environment as a core qualities that defines the brands construction projects.
Designed the visual identity to scale seamlessly across digital, print, and OOH also encompassing onsite construction environments using a modular brand system.

OUTCOMES & Learnings
OUTCOMES & Learnings
Upon completing the brand identity the following outcomes were recorded before complete implementation;
+45% increase in website traffic reflecting improved visibility and brand reach.
+23% increase in lead generation driven by clearer positioning and value communication, improving customer conversion and supporting market expansion.
Improved brand recognition enabled by a cohesive visual system and distinctive colour palette that strengthened recognition and customer affinity for the brand.
Beyond the outcomes, I also learn a few things whilst executing the project;
Communicating a unified brand narrative: A key learning from the redesign was that a unified brand narrative is essential to building a consistent positioning, aligning the brand’s expertise, values, and sustainability focus even beyond design.
Stakeholders engagement: The success of the project hinged on active engagement with internal and external stakeholders; a collaborative approach ensured the results resonated with both internal teams and customers, fostering a shared sense of ownership and pride especially amongst employees.
