Common words and phrases in construction company mission statements include: quality, service, relationships, safety, satisfaction, integrity, commitment, excellence, performance, and innovation.
The above words are sorted in order of frequency (most frequent to less frequent) from the below examples of construction mission statements.
To write your mission, vision, and values statements, follow the following general rule:
- Your values statement: What you stand for. It is used to highlight your ethics and principles. A good values statement aims to align what your values are with the values of your customers to build trust.
- Your vision: The future. It outlines what your long-term goal is. It might be to enrich your city, help your partners grow their business, or help a certain niche of businesses to succeed.
- Your mission: The present. It shows how you will achieve your vision while remaining true to your values. You can talk about how your mission is to provide quality services or innovative solutions, which will help you and your partners achieve your common vision.
Usually, construction companies aren’t consistent in articulating the difference between their values, vision, and mission. This leads to a bit of a mix of vision, values, and mission in their “mission statements”.
Below are examples of mission statements from some large construction companies. While it’s good to see what other companies are doing, remember to make your own unique mission, vision, and values statements. You can’t just copy someone else’s for your own business!
