// for builders and construction companies
Construction websites for builders, sorted by project.
A new home, an extension and a deck are different searches. A construction website gives each its own page, real job photos and a licence or registration number the client can check. Builds cost A$500 to A$1,000; see pricing.
// the problem
What a builder's client checks before the site visit.
A template is not a portfolio
Website builders offer construction templates, and each one arrives with stock photos of cranes and hard hats until you replace them. A client choosing who builds their extension looks for your jobs: the suburb, the materials and the constraint you worked around. A stock photo answers none of that.
One services page for every kind of job
New homes, extensions, decks and structural work have different buyers, budgets and questions. A single page that lists them all gives a search for one of them nothing specific to land on, and the client reading it cannot tell which jobs you actually want.
A licence number the client has to hunt for
A careful client checks a builder's registration before they book a site visit. A number buried in the footer, or missing, leaves them to go looking for it. It belongs next to the work it covers, on the about page beside the ABN, and in the structured data.
A contact form that cannot scope a build
Name, email and message tells you nothing about the job. Before a site visit is worth the drive, a builder needs the project type, the suburb, whether plans or approvals already exist and roughly when the client wants to start.
Construction website design starts with the person reading the site: a family planning a new home, an owner adding a second living area, or someone who wants a deck finished before summer. Each of them is checking whether you have built something like their job, close to where they live, before they hand over a set of plans.
Those clients rarely type “construction”. They search for the job and the place: a knockdown rebuild in their suburb, an extension builder, a deck builder near their town. Each of those needs its own page, carrying the jobs you have done of that kind and the suburbs you did them in. A homepage that lists every service in one grid gives each of those searches the same generic answer.
Probuild Construction Co shows the structure. Its 35-page site splits the work into five service pages, from decks and outdoor living to new builds and farmhouse work, gives 14 Hunter suburbs a page each, and builds four project pages from real jobs. The lead project is three decks in Kurri Kurri with ekodeck boards, a Versiclad insulated roof and a Miami stainless cable balustrade. Naming the suburb and the materials lets a client compare that job with their own.
Bodycote Building, a licensed builder in the Nambucca Valley, NSW, shows the same idea on a smaller site. Its Work section gives a new home, an elevated deck and a full renovation a page each, with the new home’s photos running from the slab up and the deck’s in build order from the before shot. The services link straight to the project that shows the work, so a client reading about renovations is one tap from a real one in Nambucca Heads.
Trust gets checked, so the facts go where they can be checked: the registration or licence number in the header or footer, the ABN on the about page, and both in the structured data. In WA, the Government’s guidance for registered builders covers advertising, websites included, and its registration guide sets out which work needs a registered builder. The guide to licence numbers on WA tradie websites shows where the number can go on a site. Probuild publishes its NSW contractor licence and ABN on the site and in the structured data, both checked against the public registers before launch. None of this is legal advice: confirm the current rules with Building and Energy, or the regulator in your state, before you publish.
The other half of the search results for construction website design is template galleries. A website builder can produce a construction site, and the DIY builders versus a professional site guide sets out when that is the right call. A Kovus build is quoted in writing at A$500 to A$1,000. Probuild’s was A$1,000.
Carpenters who mainly do decks, kitchens and joinery have their own page: websites for carpenters. Once a builder’s site is live, SEO for builders covers the monthly search work, from A$197 a month.

// straight answers
What builders ask before a quote.
- What pages should a construction company website have?
- A homepage that says what you build and where, a page for each kind of project you take on, project pages from real jobs, suburb pages where you have work to show, an about page with your licence or registration number and ABN, and one clear quote path. Probuild Construction Co's 35-page site has five service pages, 14 suburb pages, four project pages and three guides. Bodycote Building's site gives a new home, a deck and a renovation a project page each.
- Where should a builder's registration number go on the website?
- Where a client looks before they call: in the header or footer of every page, on the about page beside the ABN, and in the structured data so search engines read the same number. The WA Government's guidance for registered builders covers advertising, websites included, and other states set their own rules, so show the credential that applies where you build and check the current requirements with Building and Energy, or your state's regulator, before you publish.
- Should a builder put prices on the website?
- Only prices you can stand behind. A new home or an extension is priced from plans and a site visit, so the useful page explains what moves the price instead of printing a rate. Probuild's pricing page does that: height, cover, access and timber all change the number, so every job is quoted on site.
- Is a Wix or Squarespace site good enough for a builder?
- It can be, if you have the time to write each project page, label the photos, add the structured data and keep it all current. Those platforms are paid by subscription for as long as the site runs on them. A Kovus build is quoted once, in writing, at A$500 to A$1,000, and you own the website, content, domain and source code.
- Can Kovus build a website for a builder outside Perth?
- Yes. Kovus works with businesses Australia-wide by phone and video, with on-site meetings across the Perth metro area. Probuild Construction Co is in Cessnock, New South Wales, and works across the Hunter and Newcastle. Bodycote Building is a licensed builder in the Nambucca Valley on the NSW Mid North Coast.
- How much does a website for builders cost?
- A standard construction build costs A$500 to A$1,000, quoted in writing with a page per project type, such as new homes, extensions and decks, and the suburbs you build in. A Premium build, for a bigger site built to a higher finish, starts at A$1,000. Ongoing work is optional: A$97 a month covers hosting, security, backups and unlimited edits, and from A$197 a month adds SEO and Google Business Profile work.
- Who owns a builder's website and the project pages?
- The client owns the website, content, domain and source code from launch. For a builder, that covers the project pages, the job photos and the licence or registration details shown on them. The monthly plans are month to month with no minimum term, and cancelling takes effect at the end of the current paid month.
- Will the site rank for new home and extension searches?
- No quote includes a ranking, because Google decides that. The build gives each project type and suburb a page with real job photos, and covers the structured data and mobile speed search engines read. After launch, the SEO plan keeps the Business Profile, directory listings and review requests current and checks Search Console every month, with a report on what changed.
- Can I pay for the website monthly instead of up front?
- Yes, where your written quote offers it. The A$238.67 a month plan includes your website build, hosting, ongoing SEO and the website updates agreed in your quote, with no separate A$500 upfront build fee. Nothing is charged until you have approved the finished site. It is then charged in advance each month until cancelled, has no minimum term, and stays at A$238.67 after the first 12 months rather than dropping to A$197. The A$2,000 a year plan covers 12 months of hosting, ongoing SEO and agreed updates, also with no separate A$500 build fee. Its first payment is also taken once you have approved the finished site, and it renews every 12 months until you cancel renewal, and services continue to the end of the paid year. Both are paid through Stripe checkout, which shows the total before you pay, and you keep ownership of the website, content, domain and source code.
