Spanish term or phrase: Materializamos ideas, concretamos proyectos.
Hi, this is a sentence from a design/construction website. I'm not fully convinced of my translation into English, it sounds weird : "We materialize ideas, we concretize projects", perhaps the verbs materialize/concretize are not commonly used in English?
I was thinking "We turn ideas into action, we make projects happen" as a more natural or marketing oriented language.
I really appreciate native speakers comments on this one.
Thanks in advance,
