Video production for builders and trades
Project films, photography and social content for builders and trades, made to show the quality of the work. Production Retainers from $1,500 NZD a month.
What it’s for
Builders and trades win work on reputation and on proof that they do a job well.
Their best content shows finished projects, the craft in the detail and the team on site, so homeowners and commercial clients can see who will be turning up. Build progress footage, time-lapses and before and after material make strong social posts, and recruitment videos help in a trade where good people are hard to find.
What gets made
- Finished project films and photography
- Build progress and time-lapse footage
- Before and after content
- Team and owner profile films
- Recruitment and apprentice videos
- Social clips from site
On the shoot
Site safety
Construction sites have their own health and safety rules, so the crew signs in, completes the site induction, wears the required PPE and films with a site lead aware of where they are.
Filming over months
A build can run for months, so progress footage is planned as a series of short visits at key stages: foundations, framing, roof on, fit-out and handover.
Clients’ homes and privacy
Finished homes belong to clients, so their agreement comes first, and addresses, family photos and personal details are kept out of frame.
Weather and light
Exterior work depends on the weather, so outdoor shoots have a backup date, and interiors are scheduled for when the light through the windows is at its best.
Services
Where
Which retainer suits
Essential at $1,500 NZD a month suits a trade business that wants one session a month on site to keep social and the website current. Creative at $3,000 NZD a month suits a builder with several projects underway, or one that wants to document builds as they progress, and Studio Partner, on enquiry, suits a larger construction company with ongoing marketing and recruitment needs. A single showcase film for a finished project can be quoted as Bespoke Production.
