LinkedIn for architects: reach the people who commission projects

An architecture studio wins commissions on LinkedIn when developers, corporate real estate managers and contractors know its work and how it operates. Invite those profiles in your region, post projects with the client’s context and use the network for partnerships with engineers and interior designers.

How to set up your audience in Reachvite

Values for each tab of the extension:

Industry: Real estate, construction, hospitality: depending on the commissions you want.
Job title: Developer, head of expansion, facility manager, general manager.
Companies: Active developers in your region and chains opening new sites.
Where?: Your city and region; commissions are usually local.

Not sure where to start? People like me fills in job title, location and language from your profile.

How many invitations a week?

One or two batches of 20 a week.

The people who commission buildings in your region are a limited group. Twenty to 40 invitations a week cover it within months and keep your network current without repeating yourself. This is our guidance, not a LinkedIn figure; Reachvite stops at the first warning.

Example invitation notes

Without Premium you can only add a note to 5 invitations a month, so save it for the people who matter most.

“Hi Gavin, we design offices for tech companies in Seattle and post each project with its process. Glad to connect.”
“Hi Teresa, we work on hotel refurbishments on the coast. I’d like to have you in my network.”
“Hi Ivan, we’re looking for structural engineers to partner with in Oregon. Glad to connect.”

What to post so people accept (and remember you)

Projects with the brief, the constraints and the solution, not just renders.
Real cost and time ranges for a type of project.
Regulations that affect your clients, explained briefly.

Common mistakes

Posting only final images without the client’s problem.
A network made up mostly of classmates.
Not saying what kind of projects you specialise in.

Frequently asked questions

Does LinkedIn work for a small studio?

Yes, especially for corporate and developer commissions, where buyers look for suppliers on LinkedIn.

Instagram or LinkedIn?

Instagram shows the work; LinkedIn connects you with the people who commission it. They complement each other.

Can I prioritise specific companies?

Yes. Paste their names into the Companies tab and turn on “Start with my companies”.
