Captions that get replies for architecture practices
Captions are where you say the fee is not a favour and the drawing set is not a JPEG. Explain one decision, then tell the owner exactly what to do next. The common mistake is a caption of project name, location and year, which is useful to nobody who is about to build.

“Why this 5 marla plan has no corridor: every square foot a corridor eats comes out of the lounge. The full plan and the reasoning are in the video. WhatsApp your plot size and facing and we will talk.”

“Render 2023 ka hai, tasveer is mahine ki, wohi angle, koi filter nahi. Site pe do cheezein badlin thin, woh bhi bata di hain. Naqsha final karne se pehle WhatsApp pe mashwara le lein.”
You have a finished project and the honesty about changes is the selling point.

“Aik hi das marla plot, teen naqshay: aik jahan ammi neeche rehti hain, aik jahan betay ka alag darwaza hai, aik jahan upar wala portion kiraye pe hai. Apne ghar ka asal maamool WhatsApp karein.”

May and June, when heat makes orientation an argument you can finally win.

“A drawing set is a site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections, electrical, plumbing and structural details — seven things, not one JPEG of the front. This is what our clients receive. WhatsApp us for the full deliverables list.”
“Drawing set matlab site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections, electrical, plumbing aur structural details — saat cheezein, sirf front ki aik JPEG nahi. Hamare clients ko yeh milta hai. Poori list WhatsApp pe.”

“Kisi architect ko phone karne se pehle apne plot pe shaam chaar bajay khare ho kar dekhein: dhoop kahan hai, shor kis taraf se aata hai, aur kis parosi ne teen manzilein bana li hain. Phir yeh teen baatein WhatsApp karein.”
Top-of-funnel post for people who just bought a plot and have not started.
Using these captions
How do I use these captions?
Captions are where you say the fee is not a favour and the drawing set is not a JPEG. Explain one decision, then tell the owner exactly what to do next. The common mistake is a caption of project name, location and year, which is useful to nobody who is about to build.
Should I use them word for word?
Use the shape, change the words. These are written for architecture practices generally; the version that works is the one with your own price, your own area and your own customer's actual question in it.
Do these work in Urdu?
Several have a Roman Urdu version below, and in the twin cities that version usually performs better on TikTok and Facebook. On LinkedIn, stay in English.
