# Portfolio and profile guides

Guides: Portfolio and profile.

- [Construction project portfolio: what to include](</guides/construction-portfolio/>)

  Show a builder comparable jobs, your exact role, and useful photo stages. Keep the supporting records and permissions with each project.
- [Construction portfolio examples by trade](</guides/construction-portfolio-examples/>)

  Choose portfolio shots for the trade scope you want to discuss. Use context, before-cover details, and completed views from identifiable projects.
- [What to look for in a contractor photo app](</guides/contractor-photo-app/>)

  Choose a photo tool around your capture, retrieval, sharing, and export tasks. Test private job documentation separately from professional presentation.
- [Build a general contractor portfolio around responsibility](</guides/contractor-portfolio/>)

  Show what your company managed, what it performed, and how the work reached closeout. Pair finished photos with an accurate project explanation.
- [Contractor endorsements from builders vs online reviews](</guides/endorsements-vs-reviews/>)

  Ask for an account of work completed together. Read builder endorsements and homeowner reviews through the author’s relationship and observations.
- [Construction photos: what they show and what to check](</guides/good-photos-do-not-prove-good-work/>)

  Use project photos to ask focused questions before selecting a sub. Check attribution, concealed work, records, references, and current credentials.
- [How to take job photos that explain your work](</guides/job-photos/>)

  Give a builder context, a relevant before-cover detail, and a finished view. Caption the stage and your contribution, then keep the supporting records.
- [Organize job photos by job type](</guides/organize-job-photos/>)

  Find comparable work through a job-type index and a clear project record. Keep originals, supporting documents, and public selections separate.
- [Rough-in photos: document the work before cover](</guides/photograph-before-it-is-covered/>)

  Capture the work while it is visible and label its location and stage. Connect the images to actual drawings, tests, and inspection results.
- [Construction photo privacy: review before posting](</guides/post-work-photos-without-exposing-the-client/>)

  Show the installation without exposing the household. Check permission, image rights, identifying details, and file information before posting.
- [Write a contractor profile in three useful lines](</guides/trade-profile/>)

  Tell a builder your trade scope, service area, and supported experience in three lines. Keep credential evidence and current job details separate.
