State your role, accepted scope, project dates, and the stage each photograph shows. Connect that example to a service someone can request. Use a single documented project as the first brief. Ask the project owner to approve the public story before expanding the portfolio. Keep the project record available for checking every detail. ## Select a project with publishable evidence Gather the accepted proposal, approved scope changes, completion notes, and relevant photographs. Compare them before drafting. Keep unresolved conflicts out of the public copy. Ask who can authorize publication of the photographs and project description. Record that permission privately. A project name in an internal folder does not settle what you can publish. Choose the public location description deliberately. Publish only the locality needed to explain the service. Leave customer names, precise residential addresses, access instructions, and private communications out. ## Describe your company's role precisely Identify whether your company served as general contractor, performed a defined trade scope, or provided another documented service. Separate work by designers, owners, and other contractors. Use this proposed case-study structure: | Section | Material to verify | | --- | --- | | Project request | Approved summary of the work sought | | Your responsibility | Role and scope documented in the accepted agreement | | Constraints | Conditions the project owner approves for public discussion | | Work performed | Completed scope supported by the project record | | Changes | Accepted changes relevant to the public story | | Photographs | Image source, date, stage, and permission | | Next step | Relevant service page and project inquiry route | Keep a customer's requested change separate from an accepted change. Do not write that work was included merely because it appears in a message or early concept. Describe an inspection, completion milestone, or warranty only from its approved record. Omit the claim when the source is missing. ## Explain the job beyond the finished photograph Write a short account of what the project required and what your company delivered. Use concrete scope descriptions the project manager can confirm. If you publish an earlier view, label its stage. Keep a rendering distinguishable from a photograph of completed work. State when later work falls outside your contract. Do not invent a budget or timeline to make a story feel complete. When publishing an approved cost or duration, identify the scope and period it describes. Avoid presenting it as a quote for another visitor's project. Keep claims about structural performance, code compliance, energy savings, or future value out until the appropriate source and reviewer support them. ## Give the pictures text and context Place each image near the part of the story it supports. Add a useful caption and a description of the visible subject. Keep the image labels consistent with the project record. Google explains that page text, captions, and alternative text help it understand images. Its guidance warns against stuffing keywords into image descriptions. [Google's image guidance, checked 2026.10.22](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/google-images). Ask the builder to use responsive images and demonstrate the page on a phone. Those implementation choices follow Google's published image recommendations. [Google's image implementation guidance, checked 2026.10.22](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/google-images). For your acceptance review, read the project summary without opening the image viewer. Require the scope, role, and contact route to remain understandable. ## Connect the case study to the right inquiry Link the project from the relevant service page and portfolio index. Link its story back to the service it demonstrates. Use descriptive labels instead of identical “More” links. Google recommends clear anchor text and crawlable HTML anchors with an `href`. [Google's link guidance, checked 2026.10.22](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/links-crawlable). Request a project inquiry rather than implying the photographed job is available as a fixed package. Ask the office which location and scope details it needs for the first reply. Arrange a labeled test from the case-study page. Confirm the receiving office gets the question, reply details, and page context where specified. Keep the delivery result with the accepted page brief. ## Scope the first case study from the project record The [general contractor overview](/for/general-contractors-and-construction) connects public information with accepted scope and site notes. Use those records to resolve the story before requesting layout work.
