The problem
Why most construction company websites lose tenders.
Four patterns we see repeatedly in construction sites that are not generating commercial enquiries — and exactly how we fix each one.
01
No project portfolio showcasing completed work
Commercial clients and homeowners commission contractors based on evidence of comparable, quality work. If your site can't show the type of project they're asking about, the conversation ends before it starts.
02
No compliance accreditations visible
CHAS, Constructionline, ISO 9001, NHBC, Gas Safe, NICEIC — these accreditations are what professional clients check before shortlisting. Sites that don't display them prominently miss every procurement checklist.
03
Not appearing in local search
"Construction company London", "kitchen fitter near me", "commercial refurbishment contractor" — high-value searches from decision-makers with live projects. Without dedicated service and location pages, your competitors capture every one.
04
No clear project enquiry flow
Commercial clients in particular have specific requirements: project type, scale, timeline, procurement route. A generic contact form doesn't help them engage — and they won't try twice.
Client story
View all case studies →TheHomeX — tender enquiries up 3.5× in 90 days.
TheHomeX came to WebAnts with an eight-year-old website that showed no completed projects and had no accreditation display. The brief: a full rebuild with a proper project portfolio, CHAS and ISO 9001 pages, and a commercial tender enquiry form that pre-qualified leads by project type and value.
We rebuilt the site on WordPress in four weeks — custom design, CMS-powered portfolio, structured accreditation pages, a commercial tender form routed by project value, and location pages for every borough the company operated in. Within 90 days, tender enquiries had increased 3.5×. TheHomeX now appears on page one for their core construction searches in London.

Bespoke vs template
Why a bespoke build beats Squarespace for construction companies.
Template platforms work for early-stage businesses. For a construction company competing for commercial tenders, the gap between a bespoke build and a Squarespace template is immediately visible to procurement teams — and costs you work.
| What matters | Bespoke (WebAnts) | Squarespace / Wix |
|---|---|---|
| Project portfolio | Structured portfolio filterable by sector and project type — commercial clients can see exactly the work comparable to theirs | Template galleries are generic grids that can't be filtered or categorised by project type |
| Compliance display | CHAS, Constructionline, ISO, NHBC — structured accreditation display that passes procurement checklists | Template sites cannot accommodate accreditation display in a way that reads credibly to commercial procurement teams |
| Service page SEO | Keyword-targeted service pages for every trade and project type — ranking for "fit-out contractor London" and similar commercial queries | Generic "Services" pages on template sites rank for nothing competitive |
| Tender enquiry flow | Structured commercial tender form with project type, scale, programme, procurement route — routes qualified leads to your estimating team | Generic "Contact Us" forms generate unqualified messages that waste estimator time |
| Performance | 90–100 Lighthouse, sub-2s LCP — construction sites visited on-site via mobile; speed matters | Template sites with large image galleries are slow on mobile — the device many site visitors use |
Who we build for
Every type of construction company.
The procurement requirements differ between a main contractor and a specialist subcontractor — but the underlying need for a site that wins commercial work is the same.
General Contractors & Principal Contractors
Fit-Out & Refurbishment

FAQ
Construction website questions, answered directly.
How much does a construction company website cost in London?
An essential construction company website with project portfolio, accreditation pages and service pages typically costs £3,000–£6,000. A full site with tender enquiry flow, location pages and team profiles costs £6,000–£14,000. Multi-division enterprise platforms with procurement portals range from £14,000–£30,000. A redesign that retains SEO equity starts from £4,000. All prices are flat fees — not hourly estimates. WebAnts provides a written quote after a free 30-minute discovery call. No deposit required.
What should a construction company website include?
A high-performing construction company website should include: a project portfolio with case study pages showing sector, scale, photography and outcome; accreditation pages for CHAS, Constructionline, SSIP, SafeContractor, ISO 9001/14001/45001; sector service pages for each type of work; a structured commercial tender enquiry form; team and leadership profiles with qualifications; health and safety documentation; and location pages for every area you operate in.
Can you build our CHAS and Constructionline accreditation pages?
Yes. We build dedicated pages for each accreditation body — CHAS, Constructionline, SSIP, SafeContractor, NICEIC, Gas Safe, and ISO registrations — with your certificate details, scope, expiry dates, and downloadable PDFs. We structure them so procurement teams can verify your status quickly, which is often the difference between making an approved contractor list and not.
How do we build an effective tender enquiry system?
A good tender enquiry form qualifies the lead before it reaches your estimating team. We include: project type (new build, refurbishment, fit-out), sector, estimated contract value, programme start, procurement route, location, and brief scope. We route completed enquiries by value band so the right person picks them up — separating £50k commercial jobs from small domestic enquiries automatically.
Can you help us rank for local construction searches in London?
Yes. Local SEO is built into every construction site we build — location-targeted pages, LocalBusiness schema, Google Business Profile alignment, and content targeting "[trade] contractor [area]" keywords. For competitive sectors like commercial fit-out or refurbishment in London, an ongoing content programme targeting long-tail project searches generates consistent inbound tender enquiries over 6–12 months.
How long does it take to build a construction company website?
An essential construction company website with portfolio, accreditation pages and service pages typically takes 3–4 weeks from discovery call to launch. A full site with tender enquiry flow and location pages takes 5–8 weeks. Multi-division enterprise builds take 8–14 weeks. WebAnts delivers 1.8× faster than the UK agency average — weekly staging updates throughout.
Should we use WordPress or a custom build for our construction website?
For most construction companies wanting to manage their portfolio and add new projects themselves, WordPress with a custom theme is the most practical choice — familiar dashboard, no developer required for content updates. For companies prioritising performance, structured content models, and tight CRM integration, a custom Next.js build offers faster page loads and more flexible architecture. We build both and will recommend the right fit after the discovery call.
How do we structure our project portfolio for maximum impact?
Each project case study page should cover: project name and location, client type, contract value, programme duration, scope of works, challenges and solutions, photography gallery, and outcome. We build CMS-powered portfolios so your team can add new projects without a developer — essential for keeping the portfolio current as your pipeline grows.
What schema markup does a construction company website need?
A construction company website needs: LocalBusiness schema with correct NAP details, Service schema for each type of work you offer (construction, fit-out, refurbishment), BreadcrumbList schema on inner pages, FAQPage schema on FAQ sections, AggregateRating schema displaying your review score, and potentially ConstructionCompany or HomeAndConstructionBusiness types. We implement all relevant structured data as standard.
Can you build a website for a new construction company just launching?
Yes. Many of our construction projects are for new firms launching their own brand. The Essential package (£3,000–£6,000) gives a new contractor everything needed to launch professionally: homepage, project portfolio (even if small initially), service pages, accreditation display, and local SEO foundation. We can typically have a new construction company live within 3–4 weeks of brief.
Do you require a deposit or prepayment?
No. WebAnts operates entirely on milestone billing. Payment is tied to agreed deliverables — design sign-off, staging build, portfolio CMS, final launch — so you pay as each stage is completed and approved. You own every piece of work the moment it is delivered. There is no upfront deposit and no final payment before you have reviewed and approved the finished site.
How do we present completed projects without giving away commercially sensitive information?
We design project portfolio frameworks that work with the level of detail you can share: sector and project type without naming the client, percentage improvements without revealing contract values if required, photography without identifying branding if necessary. The structured format — brief → scope → outcome — works compellingly even with commercially sensitive constraints.
What is a procurement portal and do we need one?
A procurement portal is a private section of your website where commercial clients can log in to access tender documents, project updates, compliance certificates and H&S documentation. It reduces admin for your project management team and makes you appear more professional during procurement. For most SME contractors, it is not essential at launch — but it is worth building the architecture to support it from day one.
What does a WebAnts construction company website include as standard?
Every construction company website from WebAnts includes: bespoke design (not a template), custom WordPress or Next.js build, responsive across all screen sizes, project portfolio CMS, on-page SEO (meta tags, schema markup, XML sitemap, robots.txt), Google Analytics 4 and Search Console setup, GDPR-compliant enquiry forms, performance pass (Core Web Vitals all green), a 30-day post-launch support window, and a full CMS handover with documentation.
Can you build location pages for every area we work in?
Yes. Location pages are included in the Full Site and Enterprise packages, and can be added to the Essential package. We typically build one page per region or borough — North London, South London, Essex, Surrey — each uniquely written to rank for "[trade] contractor [area]" searches. These pages compound in authority over time and are typically the highest-volume lead source within 6 months of launch.
How do we generate more commercial tender enquiries from our website?
The most effective single change is adding a properly structured commercial tender enquiry form — not a generic contact form. Beyond that: a project portfolio filterable by sector and scale, accreditation pages that pass the procurement checklist at a glance, sector-specific service pages ranking for the searches your clients use, and location pages for every region you operate in. These elements together move a website from a passive brochure to an active tender generator.
Do you offer ongoing website management for construction companies?
Yes. Monthly retainers from £300/month covering plugin and CMS updates, security monitoring, performance checks, new project additions to the portfolio, content updates, accreditation renewals, and technical SEO maintenance. Many construction companies take a quarterly retainer — enough to keep the portfolio current and add new location pages as they expand.
Can you redesign our construction site without losing our Google rankings?
Yes. Our redesign process includes a full SEO audit before we touch a line of code — identifying all ranking pages, mapping 301 redirects, and preserving meta structure. We have rebuilt and relaunched construction company sites without any meaningful organic traffic drop. The flat redesign quote includes redirect mapping, Search Console resubmission, and a 30-day post-launch monitoring window.
What is the difference between a bespoke site and a template for a construction company?
A template cannot support a filterable project portfolio, structured accreditation display that passes procurement checklists, or a commercial tender enquiry form with routing by project type and value. These are the three elements that make a construction website effective for winning commercial work — and none of them are possible on a template platform. A bespoke build also gives you full SEO ownership and design that reflects the quality of your work, not a generic contractor template.
How important is mobile performance for a construction website?
Very important. Site managers, estimators and procurement teams increasingly research contractors on mobile devices — often on-site. A slow site on mobile loses the visitor before they see your work. We target 85+ Lighthouse score on mobile for every construction build and ensure all project photography is optimised for fast load on mobile networks.
