Public Sector & Local Government Building is the leading magazine devoted exclusively to the building and construction areas of the public sector market, which has been providing key local authority decision makers with essential news, views and technical information for over 35 years.
There are currently over 470 local authorities in the UK and in the forthcoming financial year it is estimated that PSLG Building readers will spend a colossal £112 billion on products and services within the public sector.
Local Authorities control budgets for building and maintaining thousands of houses, educational facilities, public buildings and infrastructure. They also control town planning, urban regeneration and environmental services. PSLG Building’s editorial and circulation concentrates on these vital areas giving advertisers a much more targeted method.
By adopting a more vertical approach and tailoring the circulation, PSLG Building gives advertisers a unique platform to market their products to more than 15,000 individuals, all of whom either specify, or influence the purchase of products and services within this lucrative market.

Public Sector & Local Government Building magazine's circulation is second to none. Its unique combination of local authorities, housing association, architects and contractors ensures advertisers hit the target with every single issue – (no matter where the final specification comes from.)
Never before have advertisers had this opportunity to promote their products to such a highly targeted audience with so much buying power throughout the public sector.
By adopting a vertical approach to the public sector and by creating a tailor made circulation, PSLG Building ensures advertisers reach the right readers with no wasted circulation.
PSLG Building's circulation is verified by name and job title as well as his or her ability to specify or purchase. The circulation database is cleaned and updated on a daily basis; this costly and time consuming process ensures each copy of PSLG Building reaches the key decision makers and is a measure of the publisher’s commitment to every advertiser.

"How can I be sure advertising in 'Public Sector & Local Government Building' magazine will work for me?"
With so many magazines servicing a relatively small industry sector it is VITAL that you are confident in the magazine you choose to take your sales message to market. There is little, in fact no point at all, advertising in a magazine which will never make it onto the desk of the people you need to target.
You can be confident that a magazine that has been specifically requested will firstly make it to the right individual and, secondly, be taken out of its wrapper and read.
Advertising in low level requested titles is, at best, a gamble!!
