Social media for builders that tells the story of each build

Rock Solid Marketing runs social media marketing for builders across Australia from our Mildura office. We turn your site photos and progress updates into a steady run of posts that follow each build from slab to handover.

Building clients watch you for months before they sign. They follow a few builders, study finishes and judge how you treat the families whose homes you're building. A feed that shows real progress, tidy sites and happy handovers does the selling while you're on site.

Plans cost from $1,500 + GST a month for a single platform, after a free 30-minute discovery call. If your site supervisor posting one progress photo a week would be enough, we'll tell you before we quote.

Common problems

What gets in the way, and how we fix it

  1. Your feed is all finished homes, with nothing about how you build.

    What we do

    We post the stages (footings, frame, lock-up, fit-out and handover) so future clients see how you work, not just the end result.

  2. Clients keep asking for updates you don't have time to send.

    What we do

    Progress posts and short reels double as updates clients can share with family, posted with their permission and without the address.

  3. You can't find good trades and apprentices.

    What we do

    We run recruitment posts and ads beside your client posts, showing the crew, the sites and the way you work.

What we do for builders

Social media management for builders, every stage of the build

Social media marketing for home builders works best as a long story: every post moves a build forward and shows how you treat people along the way.

Posts for every build stage

Site start, slab pour, frame up, lock-up, fit-out and handover, each with a photo or short clip. Followers watch homes take shape and start picturing their own.

Handover moments

Short videos of keys changing hands and first walk-throughs, shared only with the client's permission. Few things sell a builder like a happy family at their new front door.

Display homes and open days

Event posts, short video tours and boosted posts aimed at people in your build area, timed to open days and new display home openings.

Ads for your build area

Ads aimed at the suburbs and land estates you build in. Our social ads packages start at $2,000 + GST a month, plus 10% of ad spend paid to Meta.

Trade and apprentice recruitment

Posts and LinkedIn content that show your sites, safety and crew, so good trades want to work with you and apprentices apply.

Enquiries from social, tracked

Your monthly results meeting covers reach, messages, enquiries and display home visits from social, and what any ads cost per enquiry.

How it works

How we run your social media

Plan, create, approve, publish and report, every month.

  1. Discovery call

    A free 30-minute call to choose your platforms and the plan that suits your goals.

  2. Strategy and research

    Competitor research and a content plan built around your goals, from brand awareness to enquiries.

  3. Create and approve

    Posts, carousels, stories and reels made for your brand. You approve them on our scheduling platform, with one round of changes.

  4. Publish and report

    We schedule and post, then meet with you monthly to go through the reporting dashboard and what to change.

How it works

How social media marketing for builders runs each month

We set up a shared folder for each build, and your site supervisors drop photos at each stage. Once a month we plan the posts, write the captions and send them for your approval on our scheduling platform.

We post, reply to comments and messages during business hours, and pass sales enquiries to your team. Where your state requires a builder's licence or registration number in advertising, it goes on your profiles and ads; you supply it.

  • A photo folder for each build
  • A month of posts to approve
  • Captions written in your voice
  • Sales enquiries passed to your team
  • Licence details where your state requires them

Every build is a month of content.

How To Use Social Media To Build Trust & Drive Sales For Your Business

In 2025, social media remains one of the most powerful tools small business owners can use to build their brand, connect with customers, and drive sales. But let’s be honest: between running your business, managing day-to-day tasks, and keeping customers happy, finding the time and energy to stay consistent on social media can feel overwhelming.

All FAQs

One platform and 8 pieces of content a month costs from $1,500 + GST. Standard covers up to 2 platforms from $2,000 + GST a month, and Advanced up to 3 from $2,800 + GST. Boost budgets are paid separately, and photography of finished homes is priced to the job.

For most home builders, yes, because clients follow builders for months before they sign and check your feed for proof. It matters less for builders who work only through tenders or a few repeat developers. For them, LinkedIn and a strong website often do more.

The build itself: site starts, slab pours, frames, lock-up, fit-out and handover. Add display home tours, finishes and colour selections, the crew at work and short client stories shared with permission. Progress posts build trust because they're hard to fake. Every one also shows future clients how tidy your sites are.

Two to three times a week is enough for most builders to stay visible, which our Standard plan covers. Consistency matters more than volume: a steady run of progress posts beats a burst followed by silence. Advanced suits builders running several builds and display homes at once.

Yes, with the client's permission. Keep the street number, number plates and anything identifying out of frame, and avoid posting the address or a map. Many clients enjoy sharing their build, and their family and friends become your audience too. If a client says no, we simply leave their home out.

Yes. Posts that show your sites, safety, equipment and the people on your crew tell good trades what it's like to work for you. LinkedIn suits supervisors and estimators; Facebook and Instagram reach trades and apprentices. Recruitment ads can run alongside your client content. Show real people, not stock photos.

In some states, yes, for builders advertising building work. Where your state requires it, we add your licence or registration number to ads and profiles. You supply the number and confirm what applies, as the rules differ and you stay responsible for compliance. Keep the details current, and tell us if they change.

If you build commercial projects or work with developers, yes. LinkedIn reaches project managers, architects and investors, and it's useful for hiring supervisors. For home builders, it supports Facebook and Instagram rather than replacing them; our Advanced plan covers up to 3 platforms. Start where your clients already are.
