Property & construction
Websites and software for builders and renovators
For construction and renovation companies, we build websites with a project portfolio, quote requests that collect measurements and photos, and an area where clients follow their project. Quotes start from complete information, and clients stop phoning to ask how things are going. The company shows real work and earns the trust of people who have never met it.
Typical problems
- Quote requests arrive as a single line of text, and a site visit is needed just to understand the job
- Photos of finished projects stay on the site manager's phone and never reach the website
- Clients phone several times a week to ask how the work is progressing
- Changes requested halfway through are agreed verbally and argued over at the end
Suggested bundle
- Project portfolio
- Detailed quote requests
- Progress tracking for clients
A kitchen refit, from enquiry to handover
A couple want to refit the kitchen in an older flat. On the website, they look at three kitchens the company has redone in similar buildings and open the quote request. They pick "kitchen", enter rough measurements, attach photos and a floor plan, and say they would like it finished before the summer.
The company replies with an estimate and books a visit. Once the proposal is accepted, the couple get access to the project area: strip-out, plumbing, electrics, tiling and fitting, each phase with planned dates. Every Friday, the site manager posts the week's photos. Midway through, the couple ask for an extra socket on the worktop. The change is logged and approved before anyone picks up a drill.
What the website shows people looking for a builder
- Finished projects, with before-and-after photos and the type of work
- Services explained by type of job, from small repairs to full refurbishments
- The areas the company covers
- Its contractor licence number (alvará or IMPIC certificate)
- Genuine Google reviews and a map
- A quote request within reach on every page
One set of site photos, three uses
The photos a site manager takes on the job do all the work. First, they show the client the week's progress. Then the best ones go into the website portfolio, tagged with the type of work and the area, which helps with local SEO. Finally, they stay in the project history, handy for a warranty claim or a future job at the same address. When the company wants quotes, scheduling and material orders in the same place, a management platform ties it all together without entering anything twice.
Frequently asked questions
What does the quote form ask?
It starts with the type of job, such as a kitchen, a bathroom or a full renovation, and then shows only the questions that apply to it. The client gives rough measurements, the current state and the timescale they have in mind, and attaches photos or plans. Your team receives it all in order and can prepare an estimate before the site visit.
How do clients follow their project?
They sign in to their own area and see the phased plan, the week's photos and the project documents. When a phase is finished, they get a notification. Questions are logged against the phase they relate to, instead of getting lost in phone calls.
Are client change requests recorded?
Yes. Each change is described in the client area along with its effect on the schedule, and the client approves it in writing before work goes ahead. At handover, there is a clear record of everything agreed.
Is the portfolio much work to keep up?
Very little. The site manager uploads photos from a phone and the office picks which ones go on the website, with a short caption. Visitors can filter the portfolio by type of work and by area.
How much does a website with a portfolio and client area cost?
Each project is quoted to fit. It depends on the kind of work you do, how many jobs you run at once and whether you want the client area from the start. Request a quote
