Builder websites
Website Design for Builders in South Africa
Your finished projects do the selling before the site visit.
Last updated
Social Agencies designs and builds websites for builders, renovators and construction companies across South Africa. Each site leads with finished projects grouped by job type, shows NHBRC or CIDB details where they apply, lists references and the areas you build in, and asks about the project before you drive out.
The pages
What should a website for builders include?
-
Home
Your best finished project, registration and a clear way to enquire.
-
Projects
Finished work grouped by type: new homes, extensions, renovations, commercial.
-
Services
One page for each type of work, so each can be found in search.
-
Registration
NHBRC, CIDB and how plans are handled with a SACAP-registered professional.
-
Areas
The suburbs and towns you actually build in, named.
-
Enquiry
A form that asks the kind of work, budget, timing and photos of the space.
Listing or website
A directory listing versus your own website
| Directory listing | Your own website | |
|---|---|---|
| What sits beside your work | Other builders | Only your projects |
| How many projects you can show | A few photos | Every finished job, grouped by type |
| Who the enquiry goes to | Often several companies | You alone |
| What happens when you stop paying | The listing goes | The site and the enquiry list stay |
Filter before you drive
How do I stop driving out to quote tyre kickers?
The enquiry form asks for the kind of work, a rough budget, the timeline and photos of the space.
A homeowner who fills that in is serious, and you arrive knowing the job. One who will not is someone to phone first instead of driving out to.
Adding projects
A new project goes up without calling anyone
Adding a finished job should be something you can do yourself. Small changes are covered by the monthly support, sent by WhatsApp.
The Social Agencies method
How does working with Social Agencies work?
- 01
Discover
A short call about your business, where enquiries come from today and where they get lost.
- 02
Plan and quote
A written plan and a fixed, itemised quote. Nothing starts until you agree to it.
- 03
Build
You get a live preview link from early on and watch it take shape, instead of waiting for a reveal.
- 04
Launch and grow
It goes live on accounts in your name, then we host, support and keep improving it every month.
Frequently asked questions
What do you need from me to start?
Your registration details, the types of work you do, the areas you build in, your logo and photos of finished projects. References from past clients who agree to be contacted help a great deal.
Do you use stock photos of houses?
No. A website for builders is only as convincing as its real work, so Social Agencies uses your own project photographs and tells you what to shoot on current jobs.
Can the site cover both residential and commercial work?
Yes. Residential clients see finished homes and your NHBRC details, while commercial clients see a capability section with your CIDB grading, B-BBEE certificate and completed projects.
How long does a builder website take?
Usually three to four weeks once Social Agencies has your projects, photographs and registration details. You watch it take shape on a preview link, and the clock pauses while anything needed from you is outstanding.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The domain and the site are registered to your company, and nothing is held back if you ever leave.
