Structural and civil engineers · Lead generation

Stop waiting for two architects to remember you exist.

Lead generation for a structural practice is widening where appointments come from: new architects and builders, committees with ageing blocks, and plot owners approaching sanction. GullySales builds each of those routes and follows every fee proposal through to a decision.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What lead generation means

Lead generation is the combined work of every channel that brings in a new enquiry, whether from search, adverts, referrals or a stall at an exhibition. GullySales runs these channels together and reports the number of enquiries each one produced, not the activity behind it.

For structural and civil engineers

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “A quiet architect is noticed six months late”

    Work arrives in bursts, so a practice does not realise a referrer has stopped until the fee income for the quarter has already fallen.

  • “Committees move at the speed of a general body meeting”

    A secretary collects three quotations, takes them to the members and comes back weeks later. Your follow-up has to survive that gap.

  • “Fee proposals die of politeness”

    Practices do not chase because it feels like begging. A scheduled call a week after the proposal is ordinary professional conduct, and it wins work.

What we do

What we deliver for structural and civil engineers.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A referrer record that shows who has gone quiet

    Every architect and builder who has sent work, with the projects and the dates, so a drop in referrals is visible within weeks.

    Result: You call the architect before the quarter is lost.

  2. An approach programme for practices you do not work with

    A researched list of architects matched to the building types you design, with a project record and a planned visit for each.

    Result: New practices bring you onto a project.

  3. An association list built by building age

    Apartment blocks in your area past twenty-five years, with the committee contacts, approached with a sample report and an offer to speak.

    Result: Audit enquiries come from buildings that need one.

  4. A proposal follow-up schedule

    Every fee proposal logged with the decision maker, the meeting date and a sequence of calls, plus the reason recorded when work is lost.

    Result: Proposals reach a yes or a no instead of fading.

  5. An enquiry route that captures the building

    A form and a call script taking the building age, floors, number of blocks, symptoms and who is authorised to appoint.

    Result: Your engineer knows whether to visit before the first call ends.

  6. A report of appointments by source

    Enquiries, proposals and appointments counted by architect, builder, committee and search, against the baseline recorded before work starts.

    Result: You can see whether the dependence on two referrers is easing.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries generated
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries by source

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Where enquiries come from

The routes by which an appointment reaches a structural practice, and what to write down at each.

An architect's phone call or email
Record the project, plot size, number of floors, soil report status and the sanction date wanted. Note which architect and how the work reached him, since one referrer can send many projects.
A builder or developer
Write down the number of towers, the stage, the structural system and who signs off the fee. Builders compare quotes from several firms, so ask for the drawings before giving a number.
An apartment association or committee
Record the building age, the visible problem, the committee member and the date of the next general body meeting. Offer a site visit, with the fee for it stated.
A plot owner approaching sanction
Ask who his architect is, the plot size and the floors planned. Plot owners compare fees per sheet, so explain what the fee covers before sending the proposal.
A contractor or PEB supplier
Note the factory, the span, the crane loads and the timeline. Industrial enquiries often come through a supplier, so keep the supplier's name and the owner's name separate.
A repeat client or an old project
Record the old project and the new request. Someone returning to add a floor or a block is the best lead, and the original calculations and drawings are already in your files.

Who it is for

This is written for these structural and civil engineers.

  • Structural design consultancies for residential and commercial buildings
  • Independent structural engineers working with architects
  • Structural audit, testing and retrofitting specialists
  • Pre-engineered and steel building design consultants
  • Civil engineering consultancies for roads, drainage and site development
  • Proof checking and peer review consultants
  • Geotechnical and soil investigation firms
  • Project management and site supervision consultancies

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the lead generation work runs

  1. 1

    Understand your capacity

    We agree how many enquiries your sales team can actually handle well, so the system is not built to overwhelm it.

  2. 2

    Audit current sources

    We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.

  3. 3

    Strategise the channel mix

    Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.

  4. 4

    Implement capture and follow-up

    Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiry volume and quality and adjust the channel mix to match.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How do we approach architects without seeming to tout?
By showing work. A project record sent with a note about a structure like the one they are designing is a professional exchange. A fee discount offer is not, and it ends the relationship before it starts.
How do we reach apartment associations?
Through buildings rather than lists. Blocks past twenty-five years in your own area, approached with a sample report and an offer to speak at a general body meeting. It is slow, and it works.
Should we give a quick stability opinion on the phone?
No. An opinion without seeing drawings, soil data or the structure carries risk for you and for the caller. Offer a site visit with a stated fee and a written note afterwards. A caller who will not pay for a visit is not a client yet.
Which enquiries are worth a site visit before a fee is agreed?
Visit once you have the address, the building's age, what the caller has seen, and the name of whoever will authorise work. A visit with no authority behind it is time given away. Say plainly that the visit is paid or what it leads to.
Can a structural engineering practice market itself without seeming commercial?
Yes, by showing work rather than making claims. A page explaining how you solved a transfer beam on a stilt floor reads as professional to an architect. An advertisement promising the best design does not.
How do we explain our fee to a plot owner comparing a cheaper engineer?
List what each fee includes. Drawings, calculations, site visits at footing, column and slab stages, and the certificate for plan sanction, set side by side, show the owner what the lower fee leaves out.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
