Kitting Out a Construction & Building Team: A Practical Workwear Guide
Every Construction & Building business has different workwear needs, but there are some basics that apply across the board. We’ve supplied Construction & Building teams for years — small outfits, big companies, and everything in between — so we’ve got a good sense of what works in practice, not just in theory.
What Every Construction & Building Team Needs
The Basics
Start with what your team will wear every day. For most Construction & Building roles, that’s polo shirts or t-shirts as a base layer — something comfortable for all-day wear that looks tidy and takes a logo well. Polycotton blends tend to be the best all-rounder: breathable, durable, and easy to wash.
Outerwear
This is the UK — your team is going to need outerwear. Softshell jackets are our most recommended option for Construction & Building because they’re warm, water-resistant, and look smart with embroidery. For heavier rain or colder conditions, waterproof jackets or insulated coats are the way to go.
Role-Specific Gear
Every Construction & Building business is different, and some roles need specific gear. We can advise on what’s required for your particular setup — whether that’s PPE, hi-vis, safety footwear, or industry-specific clothing. If you’re not sure what regulations apply to your team, just ask us.
