Structural and civil engineers · Social media

LinkedIn is where architects and builders check who you are.

Social media for a structural practice is LinkedIn and very little else. It is where architects, builders and fabricators look you up, and where a partner's post about a structure reaches specifiers. GullySales runs it from your partners' accounts, with permission settled on every project shown.

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For structural and civil engineers

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

“Reinforcement photographs are this trade's content”
A column junction, a raft being laid or a transfer beam in progress is read closely by every site engineer and architect who follows you.
“A partner's account beats the firm's page”
Specifiers follow engineers rather than consultancies. One partner posting every fortnight does more than a company page posting weekly.
“Permission comes from two parties”
A photograph on site involves the owner and the architect. Both should agree before publication, and it is a five-minute ask at the start of a project.

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.

Partner accounts set up and kept current
Each partner's profile completed with the practice, the building types they design and the qualifications and registrations they hold.
Result: An architect checking a name finds a credible engineer.
A photography routine at site visits
A short rule on what to photograph at each stage and where to send it, so the material exists without a separate effort.
Result: Posting never depends on somebody remembering a camera.
Permission agreed with owner and architect
A short written ask at project start covering photographs, publication and crediting, recorded with the project file.
Result: You can show work without an awkward phone call later.
Posts that explain a structural decision
Short pieces on why a system was chosen for a site, written by a partner in plain words, with the client kept anonymous where needed.
Result: Architects see judgement rather than a portfolio.
Messages recorded with other enquiries
Enquiries arriving as personal messages logged with calls and site visit requests, with an agreed time for a reply.
Result: A builder's message is answered the same day.
Reporting on contacts and enquiries
New specifier contacts, messages and enquiries traced back to the posting, against the baseline recorded before work starts.
Result: The effort is judged on projects, not followers.

Platform for this buyer

Where specifiers look, and what a structural practice posts on each.

LinkedIn posts from the partners: Post one decision from a live project: why a transfer beam, why a raft, why a steel column. Leave the client out. The action is to message with drawings and a brief.
LinkedIn photographs from site visits: Post rebar before pouring, a shear wall junction or a retrofit detail, with the member named in the caption. The action is to ask architects to share a similar case.
YouTube short explainers on owner questions: Answer the questions owners ask: can this wall be removed, what is a structural audit. The action is to send photographs and the plan, with an inspection offered if risk is present.
WhatsApp groups of architects and builders: Share a one-page list of the drawings and loads you need to begin a design. It saves back and forth. The action is to send those with the request.
Google Business Profile for owners: Post a site visit or audit with the locality. Owners with a cracked slab look here. The action is to call and book an inspection.
What not to post: Stamped drawings, calculations, soil reports, another contractor's defect, and opinions about a named builder's failure.

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 have no permission from owners or architects to show their sites, so a feed of project photographs could not be posted.
No partner in the practice will keep an account current, so a page started now would go silent.

How it works

How the social media work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

1
Confirm audience, platforms and access
We note which platforms your buyers use and check that the pages sit under your own business accounts, with you as owner and us as added roles.
2
Review the current presence
We read the existing pages, the posts that drew replies and the gaps in posting.
3
Build the calendar
Themes, formats and dates are set out for your approval, with space for offers and news.
4
Create, approve and publish
Posts are made, approved by you and scheduled. Replies to the public are handled in your voice.
5
Record enquiries and adjust
Enquiries are logged against the post or platform where they began, and the mix changes to follow what brings them.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Tell us what you need

Is posting about projects unprofessional for an engineer?

Showing work is not touting. A post explaining how a long span was handled reads as competence to an architect. A post claiming you are the best consultant in the city does the damage people worry about.

Should we be on Instagram?

Only if you take decorative or heritage repair work, where photographs carry the story. For design and audit work the specifiers are on LinkedIn, and one platform done properly beats three neglected.

A stranger sends photographs of a cracked wall in a DM and asks if it is safe. What do we reply?

Do not give an opinion from photographs. Thank them, say a crack can only be judged on site, and offer an inspection. Tell them to keep people away from a badly affected area. Record the message and your reply.

Whose name goes on the post: the firm or the engineer?

Both. The engineer's profile carries the explanation, and the firm's page reshares it with the firm's registration details. Buyers check the person who signs the drawings. Agree in writing which posts the partner publishes and which the firm publishes.

How much does it cost?

There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.

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.

What if we are not happy with the work?

Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
