What is a construction video?
A construction video is video content designed to support construction companies. It’s a wide label that includes everything from training videos to project overviews, product demos, construction marketing videos and even videos for use in tender pitches and proposals. We create animated videos that help construction companies attract new business, generate awareness, boost understanding and trust, plus support existing clients and employees.Why is video content so important in the construction industry?
Video content is brilliantly suited to the construction industry due to its ability to visually convey complex processes, techniques, and even project progress. It enhances communication among teams, aids in training by demonstrating hands-on tasks, and assists in documenting projects for future reference. Video content improves safety awareness, accelerates knowledge transfer, and provides stakeholders with a comprehensive view of construction activities, ultimately leading to more efficient and effective project management. Beyond that, as in all industries, video helps businesses grow – reaching and engaging new audiences with powerful, informative and inspirational content that makes a great impression.What sort of videos work well for a construction business?
A successful construction business can benefit from a wide range of video content. Animated videos include things like construction company overview videos, project showcases, product demos, animated tutorials detailing specialised techniques and safety animations promoting best practices. Live action videos like behind-the-scenes clips and customer testimonials can help underscore company values, enhance credibility, attract clients, and effectively demonstrate the business’s expertise and capabilities.How can construction videos provide insights into construction techniques and processes?
Videos, particularly animated ones, are a brilliant way to illustrate abstract concepts – tremendously useful for the construction industry. A construction company can use video to demonstrate intricate construction techniques, such as structural load distribution or HVAC system functionality. By simplifying complex ideas, animations enable viewers to grasp otherwise challenging aspects. This approach boosts understanding, making processes more accessible to both construction professionals and laypeople, ultimately contributing to better-informed decision-making and successful construction project outcomes.Construction video examples
Take a look at a few of the construction videos we’ve created for our customers.
How much does construction video production cost?
When it comes to creating construction videos, the cost hinges on several factors, ranging from the video’s length and style to its overall complexity – and other factors. At Wyzowl, we offer fixed pricing, so you’ll know before your project begins what you can expect to pay. While there are lots of variables, you might find it useful to check out our explainer video pricing research, which outlines the cost estimation of a 60-second animated explainer video. Although this isn’t specific to construction video, it’s a decent point of reference and a solid starting point for understanding what you might expect to pay.
What are the best platforms to promote a completed construction video?
One of the great things about construction video is that it can be promoted across a range of platforms. Leveraging YouTube taps into its strong search visibility, while social media platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook engage both industry professionals and a broader audience. Integrating the video into your construction company website, incorporating it into email newsletters, and sharing on specialised industry forums helps ensure a targeted approach. We’ve even had clients embed video content within presentations for conferences or trade shows.
How long does it take to create construction videos?
Again there are a few variables to this answer. While we work to fixed turnarounds at each stage of our video production process, we also offer unlimited revisions – so the actual time it takes from the beginning of a project to the end, really depends on the speed (and volume!) of feedback, and the number of revision rounds. Our research found the majority of companies offering turnarounds of 4-8 weeks for a 60 second animated explainer video and this again seems to be a pretty reasonable starting point to manage your expectations!
And what about live action construction video?
We’ve spoken a lot about animated video on this page, but live action video is also a great addition to your construction marketing strategy. Whether it’s behind-the-scenes content, customer testimonials or live action company overviews, live action videos can be an integral part of your video masterplan!Did you know? 👀
