Website for a construction company
Clients choose on evidence. Projects with before, during and after photos, plus budget class and lead time, convince more than ten paragraphs about craftsmanship.
In short
- Projects with images, budget class and lead time
- Enquiry with drawing or photo upload
- Vacancies that actually reach tradespeople
How it works in this industry
Clients in construction choose on references, not on copy. A project with images of the phases, a budget range and the lead time says more than a page about craftsmanship — precisely because the client wants to know whether you have done this kind of work before.
The second theme is staffing. In construction a findable vacancy page is often worth more than an extra job: tradespeople search by role and region and end up with firms that have a real page rather than a PDF on a board.
What usually goes wrong
- A portfolio stuck at one photo per project
- Enquiries without drawings or dimensions
- Vacancies posted only on a notice board

Frequently asked questions
Can clients attach drawings?
Yes, large files included. They arrive with the enquiry so you can judge the fit immediately.
Do vacancy pages really help?
Yes, provided they are findable on the right words. Tradespeople search by role plus region, not by your company name.
Should I state amounts with projects?
A range is enough and works well: it filters enquiries without committing to a price.
How many projects do I need?
Six well-documented projects say more than thirty photo albums. Choose work resembling what you want more of.
