THE SAMENESS PROBLEM

Quality. Reliable.
We go the extra mile.

Your customers have heard it all before. Every contractor says it, so none of it lands. Good companies end up sounding like the ones cutting corners.

The difference is out on your projects. It is in the call your PM made when the drawings were wrong. The problem you found before it became the owner's problem. The work you stood behind after the invoice was paid.

We bring that into focus, and put it where it does the work.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Common problems we see

01

Nothing to show

You have finished a dozen projects and the only record is photos on a superintendent's phone.

02

Deals stall after the quote

Your estimator sends the number and then waits. There is nothing to send on Thursday that is not a nudge.

03

Stakeholders in the dark

The owner is in another city reading a written report. He asks the same three questions every month.

04

Crews you cannot fill

You are short on every job and your careers page has a photo on it you bought from a website.

WHAT YOU GET

One job, three pieces, one link.

01

The project story.

Two to three minutes. The job start to finish, told by the people who did it and the client it was built for. Built for the pre-qual package and the bid presentation. Runs at the trade show booth and on your homepage.

02

The social cut.

Thirty seconds from the same story. Captioned and vertical, ready to post.

03

The page.

A written case study at a link that is yours. It covers the project, the problem, what you did and what the client said. Send it or embed it. Attach it to a proposal.

BUILT AROUND YOUR JOB

A half day. We handle the rest.

You are running a job, not a production. The process is built to take as little from you as possible.

01

A half day on site.

We work around the job. Your crew keeps working. We bring cameras, insurance certificates, PPE and releases.

02

Access and permissions, sorted first.

Whatever the site requires, we handle before anyone shows up. You chase nothing.

03

Then we do the rest.

We interview, edit, write and build the page. You approve it once, in one place.

Fourteen days later it is live. If it is late, you do not pay.

WHERE IT GOES

Win the bid.
Keep the owner.
Fill the crew.

SALES

Closes deals faster

The committee stops taking your word for it and watches someone who already hired you.

  • The project story goes in every pre-qual package
  • Your estimator sends the page on Thursday instead of a nudge
  • One link answers the question a proposal cannot

OWNERS, LENDERS, BOARDS

Keeps stakeholders confident

The people funding the work see it in their own time, without another meeting.

  • A record of what was built and how it went
  • One page they can forward instead of forwarding a report
  • Dated, current and theirs to share internally

HIRING

Attracts the best tradespeople

Your people by name, on the work they did. That beats a job board every time.

  • The story shows real crews doing real work
  • The social cut runs on hiring posts
  • The page sits on the careers page and does the convincing

IT COMPOUNDS

One link is useful.
Four is a library.

Do this once a quarter and by the end of the year every bid has a comparable project attached, every open role has real crews behind it, and every stakeholder has something current to look at.

Nobody is digging through a folder of phone photos, because there is no reason to.

THE DEADLINE

A finished building is just a building.

The proof is the work, and the work only exists while it is happening. Once the site demobilizes, no version of this can be recovered. Not at any price, not by anyone.

If there is a job running right now that you would want a committee to see, that is the one.

TERMS

The things we guarantee.

Fourteen days or you do not pay.

Every deliverable in your hands fourteen days after we leave the site. A day late and the project is free and you keep everything.

We work around your job.

A half day on site, on your schedule. The work does not slow down.

If the footage is not right, we come back on our dime.

Our crews are local, so there are never travel costs. Not for the shoot and not if we need to come back.

We do not guarantee you win the bid. Nobody honest can. We guarantee the proof exists, it arrives on time, and getting it does not cost you a day of production.

PRICING FAQ

A few things worth knowing.

Why is the price the same for every client?

Because the deliverables are. Custom scopes are why other vendors take three weeks to send you a proposal.

Can I upgrade after the shoot?

Yes. We capture everything on the day regardless of package. Add the social cut or the quote answers within thirty days at the difference in price.

What if the project is confidential?

Then it runs as work for hire. Delivered into your systems and never shown publicly, to named recipients only. Same price.

How long from the call to the page being live?

About three weeks. A week to sort access and scheduling, a half day on site, then fourteen days to deliver.

What do you need from my client?

Twenty minutes on camera and a release. We handle the ask if you would rather we did.

What if the weather turns?

We reschedule at no charge and the fourteen day clock starts from the new date.

Do we own the footage?

Yes. Your organized raw archive is included in every package.

The hard part
is already done.

You built it. You solved the problems on site. The only thing missing is proof that it happened.
