Projects that speak for themselves.
In construction, it is not the most beautiful site that wins, but the party that shows what it has previously achieved.
A website for a construction company starts at €1,795: projects with photos and figures, an application form that requests the correct information, and vacancies with structured data. A client portal in which customers track progress is custom-made from €2,950.
WHAT WORKS IN CONSTRUCTION
Evidence beats promises
Clients choose based on trust, and you build that with completed work: before and after photos, the size of the project, the lead time and where things became difficult. A project page with those four things is more convincing than three paragraphs about craftsmanship.
The second gain is in the application form. An application without location, size and desired start date will cost you two email exchanges before you can estimate whether it is something.
- Requests without information? — Then you start each quotation by inquiring.
- Projects only on social media? — They will be gone tomorrow and cannot be found.
- Vacancies through an agency? — Then you pay for candidates that you could reach yourself.
- Project pages with numbers — size, lead time, results.
- Request form that requests — location, size, start date.
- Vacancies with structured data — visible in Google for Jobs.
- Distinguish between private and business — two target groups, two routes.
- Certifications visible — VCA and quality marks count in the choice.
- Fast on mobile — your client looks at the construction site.
PORTAL FOR CLIENTS
Fewer calls about planning
With projects that run for weeks or months, the same question keeps coming up: how are things going. We built a portal for an installation company that solves exactly that: same need, different profession.
The client sees the status, planning and delivery documents. This saves on phone calls and gives a professional impression that you cannot get with a brochure.
- Status per project — without calling.
- Delivery documents in one place — drawings, warranties, inspections.
- Additional and less work recorded — visible to both parties.
- Construction site hours — entered directly, not on a note.
- Link with your administration — approved hours become draft invoices.
WHEN NOT
When a site is not your bottleneck
If your agenda is full through word of mouth and you are mainly looking for staff, then a site for recruitment makes more sense than for acquisition. That's a different kind of page with a different purpose.
And if your requests are enough but the wrong kind, it is rarely due to technology. Making it clearer who you do work for will solve this faster than a new site.
- Agenda is full — then focus the site on recruitment.
- Wrong requests — be clearer about your target audience.
- Subcontracting only — then a portfolio is enough.
- Well: you want to get orders yourself — then this is the time.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions from construction companies
Can we add projects ourselves?
Yes, with a management environment: add photos, descriptions and numbers without our intervention. Projects that you cannot update yourself will not be updated.
Does the portal work on the construction site?
Yes, that's the premise. Enter hours and photos on a phone, with a simpler screen than the office version.
How much does a project portal cost?
The site starts at €1,795; a portal with customer accounts and links is custom-made from €2,950. After a conversation we will give a fixed price.
Do you connect with our calculation package?
This is often the case with packages with an API. We test this in advance, so that you do not pay for research that results in a no.
