Builder content kit: 3 things to film instead of the drone shot

Hipe Media · Builder content kit

You’re already doing all three on site every week. Pick a hook and the storyboard updates, copy it straight into your caption, and tick off each shot as you film. Your ticks stay saved on this phone.

The build in stages

A finished house is one post. The build is fifty. Slab, frame, lock-up, fit-off: every stage is a reason for a future client to watch you work and trust you with their build.

Storyboard

Slab
“Day 1 to lock-up. Watch this block become a home.”
Same spot, day 1
Frame
Same angle, every stage
Same spot, frame up
Lock-up
Lock-up. Next stop: handover.
Same spot, lock-up

Pick your hook

Use your real timeline. If it took 14 weeks, say 14.

Shot list

Ask your client before you post their build, and keep the house number and street sign out of shot.

The decisions and the drama

Every build has a moment: a client changes the kitchen, the engineer’s drawings don’t work on site, a delivery turns up wrong. How you sort it out is exactly what a homeowner wants to see before they pick a builder.

Pick your hook

Keep it respectful. The client is never the villain: the problem is, and you’re the one who fixes it.

The crew

Homeowners are letting your team into their life for months. Show them who’s turning up. Banter, characters and the chippy who’s been with you ten years do more for trust than any finished-house photo.

Storyboard

Setup
“The chippy and the sparky settle it once and for all“
Mic on, phone on the ute
Banter
Let them run with it
One question, then let go
Edit
Best 20 to 40 seconds
Keep the laughs

Pick your hook

Fill in your real number. Never round it up.

Shot list

Ask the crew before you post. The best ones are the people who want to be on camera.
