The Client
Based in the Sutherland Shire and operating in all Sydney regions, MATTBUILD are a team of respected builders who are highly regarded for quality service in an efficient and timely manner.
With over 25 years combined experience, their reputation is based strongly on satisfying the specific needs of their clients in all areas of construction.
Where most home builders promise to provide you with the best build possible, MATTBUILD promise to not only turn their clients’ vision into reality, but to inform and educate through the pre, during and post-build stages of the project.
The Brief
With a collection of outstanding projects to showcase, MATTBUILD were after a memorable solution to present this to potential their clients and suppliers. COG Branding were engaged to create a hardcover portfolio book that reflected the MATTBUILD brand and showcased their projects in a way that promoted the quality of their build as well as the unique aesthetics of each individual home.
As well as including project photography, the book needed to communicate details about each project, client testimonials, process notes and brand content. All of these assets were conceptualised and tested by COG Branding to achieve a strong creative direction from the outset. Once this was approved by the client, all 132 pages of the book were created.
The Solution
The COG Branding solution was one that promoted minimalism, sophistication and gorgeous aesthetics.
With MATTBUILD’s range of projects all boasting a unique design and architectural style, the design of the book needed to remain simple yet sophisticated so that the project imagery could take centre stage.
Being provided with amazing imagery of some of Sydney’s best home building projects made our job much easier. Our design solution was one that focused on keeping the copy clean and consistent, allowing all the aspects in the book enough space to breathe and be consumed by the reader easily and equally.
As a result, the book maintains a premium look that places MATTBUILD’s projects on a pedestal, giving them the exposure they deserve.
The Results
COG Branding provided a premium hardcover perfect bound book solution for this project, resulting in a classic and durable final product that exceeded the client’s expectations.
Our use of high-quality materials and finishes created for a polished and professional finished book that the client was proud to share with potential clients and partners.
