Built for contractors doing work worth talking about

Commercial general contractors, specialty contractors, subcontractors, design-build firms, and construction-related companies who are doing strong work but don’t have the internal capacity to consistently market it.

If project milestones go unannounced, social feeds go quiet for weeks, and your best people aren’t hearing about open roles — that’s the gap Buildstory fills.

  • Inconsistent social posting
  • Limited internal marketing capacity
  • Outdated or missing project stories
  • Recruiting & retention challenges
  • Weak executive visibility
  • Milestones that go unpromoted

How we work

A repeatable system, so your marketing keeps moving even when your week doesn’t slow down.

  1. 01

    Discovery & onboarding

    We learn your goals, projects, audiences, brand voice, and what’s currently falling through the cracks.

  2. 02

    Monthly planning

    Work is mapped to a communications calendar, so priorities can shift with your project schedule and recruiting needs.

  3. 03

    Production

    Content and communications are produced asynchronously and reviewed through a streamlined approval process — built for busy teams.

  4. 04

    Reporting & iteration

    A concise monthly report shows what moved, what’s next, and where to focus.

The Buildstory difference

Senior-level communications support, built specifically around how contractors operate.

Construction industry focus

Less time spent explaining how your business works, more time building your story.

Fractional model

Senior-level capability without the cost of a full-time salary, benefits, and overhead.

Repeatable system

Structured intake, content calendars, and defined deliverables keep work moving on its own.

AI-assisted efficiency

Production is accelerated behind the scenes, with human oversight and final quality control throughout.

Flexible effort

Retainers flex to equivalent effort, so priorities can shift without turning every request into a line item.

Let’s talk about your story

Every engagement starts with a conversation about what’s working, what’s falling through the cracks, and where you want to be in six months. From there, we’ll put together a package and pricing that fits your goals.

No pricing on a page can account for your scope — tell us a bit about your company and we’ll follow up to talk specifics.
