Regardless of a company's size or state, one of the top priorities is business growth. Startup companies compete to gain business. Mature and stable companies look for opportunities to win new markets and expand their business. At the end of the day, everyone is looking for more business.

Construction marketing requires an effective marketing strategy for the construction industry. You may also use construction marketing tools or a marketing agency. But that can become costly over time.

Most construction companies have a website presenting their services and products. They also have a sales team reaching out to potential customers and qualifying leads. And a marketing team creating presentations and promotional materials.

So how do you stay ahead of your competition?

Are you using all your resources to market your construction company? Are you using your building plans and drawings as a construction marketing tool?

When we ask that question, the answers are usually along the same line. No, we’re not using building plans as a selling tool. We hear owners and executives of building and construction companies say, “Our completed projects are in digital format on a network drive we can all access.” Or “we store blueprints from a company we acquired in our storage facility.” Or “We’ve been around for a long time. Some of our projects are stored as blueprints in our office. Others in CAD format on hard-drives. And the newest ones on a network drive”.

And so we go back to the original question. Are you using your completed building plans to win more business? Your portfolio of completed work is one of the best construction marketing tools you have. So why not make the most of it.
