Water Mission’s Engineering and Construction guidelines provide practical direction for how our brand is applied across facilities, signage, and project sites around the world. From building paint and signage to donor plaques and post-installation photography, these standards help ensure every project reflects the same level of excellence, clarity, and professionalism, while still allowing flexibility for regional and cultural context.

These guidelines were developed collaboratively by the Standards & Excellence, Engineering & Innovation, and Creative teams to support consistent implementation across country programs and partners.
