Completed Networking Canvas

Networking Canvas example: installer for commercial projects

In construction, a single project brings many suppliers together at the same time, and referrals flow between them: the architect remembers the installer, the installer remembers who does the HVAC. Those who join the project early usually get ahead, so it pays to know who decides at each stage.

The example is from a fictional electrical and plumbing installation company for commercial projects. The canvas shows a network built around the job site, with partners who come in at different stages.

Alvo Instalações

Construction: installer for commercial projects (fictional example)

What I offer

We design and carry out electrical and plumbing installations for commercial buildings, with a fixed schedule and our own crew.

Who it is for

Small and mid-sized builders and retail chains opening new stores in the state of Goiás and the Federal District. The site engineer or the expansion manager decides.

The result I deliver

The project is delivered on time, with no installation rework after the finishing. The engineer deals with a single person in charge of the electrical and plumbing work.

What I am looking for

Customers: builders with commercial projects under way. An electrical supplies vendor with contractor pricing. Architects who design stores and need an installer they can trust.

Who I can refer

  • HVAC companies
  • Drywall and ceiling suppliers
  • Commercial architecture firms
  • Fire protection companies

Key partners

Architecture firms, which refer us at the design stage. HVAC companies, which work on the same site without competing. An electrical supplies vendor that lets us know when a builder starts a new project.

What this canvas does well

  • The decision maker changes with the customer: the site engineer at a builder, or the expansion manager at a retail chain.
  • The result talks about deadlines and rework, two issues that weigh on the decision of whoever runs the project.
  • The partners come in at different stages of the project, so they refer without competing.
